Industrial air cleaner

A system for capturing and treating emissions from industrial emissions sources, the system comprising:

• an inlet section, the inlet section comprising a hood opening, the inlet section positioned generally downwind of a stack according to a prevailing wind direction, such that the inlet section is operable to draw emissions and ambient air into the hood opening as a polluted air flow;
• an air duct operable to route the polluted air flow away from the inlet section;
• a duct fan operable to drive the polluted air flow from the inlet section, through the air duct and into a filtration area;
• a filter, the filter positioned in the filtration area, the filter operable to remove pollutants from the polluted air flow generating a treated air flow;
• a water nozzle operable to provide water to the filter, such that the water captures pollutants and cleans the filter, generating a dirty water;
• a separation vessel operable to collect the dirty water and separate the dirty water from the treated air flow, generating a waste water stream and an outlet air flow;
• and
• an outlet stack operable to direct the outlet air flow from the separation vessel, such that the outlet air flow comprises reduced pollutants as compared to the emissions and the ambient air together.
