Disclosed is a compact venturi scrubber, used for removing undesirable materials from a gas stream, that includes a gas inlet section, a discharge section aligned with the gas inlet section, the discharge section having a base defined by the intersection of the gas inlet section and the discharge section, a diverging interior surface, and a diverging angle defined by the diverging interior surface, a nozzle, and a liquid inlet through which a liquid scrubbing medium is introduced to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle produces a full spray pattern directed towards the base of the discharge section with a sufficiently large discharge angle so that a cross-sectional area of the full spray pattern produced by the nozzle at the point it intersects with the base of the discharge section fully covers, and substantially matches the size and shape of, the cross-sectional area of the base of the discharge section.
A compact venturi scrubber comprising:
A venturi scrubbing system comprising one or more scrubbing stages, each scrubbing stage having one or more compact venturi scrubbers, each compact venturi scrubber comprising:
A method for the removal of materials from a gas stream utilizing a compact venturi scrubber that comprises (a) a gas inlet section, (b) a discharge section aligned with the gas inlet section, the discharge section having (i) a base defined by the intersection of the gas inlet section and the discharge section, (ii) a diverging interior surface, and (iii) a diverging angle defined by the diverging interior surface, (c) a nozzle, and (d) a liquid inlet through which a liquid scrubbing medium is introduced to the nozzle, the method comprising:
