Abstract
A filter media for scrubbers includes a plurality of spherical bodies made of a liquid wettable material shaped in a latticework jacket having a great circular ring from which extend arcuate bars terminating near the poles of the spherical body so formed. Spaced axially extending bars extend from the arcuate bars and terminate within the body at free ends. The arcuate bars have a cross section which tapers inwardly toward the center of the body to provide maximum capture of liquid droplets.
Claims18
A filter body adapted for use in a scrubber of the type including a tower within which are disposed a plurality of the filter bodies which thereby define a bed, the scrubber operating by passing a liquid downwardly through the bed while passing a gas upwardly through the bed, said filter body comprising:
- a latticework jacket defined by an annular meridian ring, a plurality of arcuate bars extending upwardly and downwardly from said annular meridian ring, and a plurality of fingers extending from at least some of said arcuate bars towards a plane defined by said annular meridian ring and wherein at least a majority of said arcuate bars have a cross-sectional shape tapering inwardly towards said annular meridian ring.
