Device for Treating a Gaseous Effluent Loaded with Odorant Compounds using a Three-Dimensional Mesh, Corresponding Installation and Process

A method for removing odiferous compounds from a gaseous influent the method comprising:

• directing gaseous stream into a reactor;
• mixing the gaseous stream with a wash solution in the reactor to from a liquid-gas mixture;
• directing the liquid-gas mixture through a mesh disposed in the reactor and promoting contact between the gaseous influent and the wash solution in the liquid-gas mixture;
• and
• wherein the contact between the gaseous influent and the wash solution caused by the mesh results in odiferous compounds being removed from the gaseous influent.

A system for removing odiferous compounds from a gaseous influent comprising:

• a reactor for treating the gaseous influent with a wash solution;
• an inlet for directing the gaseous stream into the reactor;
• an inlet for directing the wash solution into the reactor;
• a mesh disposed within the reactor for promoting contact between the gaseous influent and the wash solution;
• the mesh extending a substantial length through the reactor and including a plurality of interconnected strands that form an array of openings;
• a liquid eliminator disposed downstream of the reactor to separate the wash solution from the gaseous influent;
• a liquid collector disposed below the liquid eliminator to receive and hold wash solution separated from the gaseous influent by the liquid eliminator;
• an outlet disposed downstream from the liquid eliminator to direct treated gaseous influent from the reactor;
• and
• a recirculation line extending outside the reactor to recirculate the wash solution.
