Abstract
An odor control system includes an inlet section of a chamber for spraying waste gas with a suitable reactive chemical agent, for odor removal purposes. An electrostatic precipitator is mounted downstream of the inlet section, within the chamber, for removing chemical residues. The electrical field strength of the electrostatic precipitator is adjustable as needed, to satisfy operating system requirements.
Claims12
A system for processing waste gas containing odoriferous contaminants comprising:
- an elongated vertical chamer having an inlet, an outlet and an elongation axis, said inlet being disposed above the outlet, said chamber having means defining a treatment zone between the inlet and the outlet;
- means for flowing a waste gas under pressure into the inlet of said chamer and for directing the flow of the gas under pressure toward the treatment zone;
- means disposed at the treatment zone for spraying an additive under pressure into the treatment zone;
- said means for spraying includes;
- first and second conduits for guiding the additive, each of said conduits having at least one discharge nozzle adjacent one end thereof, the discharge nozzle on the first conduit arranged in a spaced apart and directly opposed configuration with respect to the at least one discharge nozzle on the second conduit such that theflow path of the discharge from the first conduit directly intersects the flow path of the discharge from the second conduit thereby to produce a discharge cloud extending radially perpendicular to the elongation axis;
- electrostatic precipitor means having a plurality of grounded electrode tubes mounted within said chamber, for ionizing chemical reation products for removal thereof from the gas under pressure flowing to the outlet wherein each of said tubes has a concentraically disposed electrode wherein the concentric electrode attracts the ionized products as the gas passes vertically, downwardly through the electrode tubes;
- and
- means disposed at said outlet for discharging substantially odor free gas to the atmosphere.
