Abstract
A wet scrubber system for removing dust such as coal dust from the air. The system includes an impingement board and demister. The impingement board comprises a frame with flat strips of metal or plastic attached thereto. The strips are spaced apart to permit passage of an airstream. The demister comprises a first and second row of generally V-shaped members separated by an expanded metal screen. The V-shaped members are offset, spaced apart and tack welded, at their base, to the screen to form a generally Z-shaped pattern.
