Abstract
A system and method of scrubbing gas utilizing a liquid to wet a gas stream is provided. The scrubber comprises a container containing a liquid; a tube having a tube inlet opened exterior of the container connected via a throat to a tube outlet allowing a gas to flow from exterior the container into the space above the liquid; a motor having a rotatable shaft; a siphon pipe connected to the rotatable shaft having a siphon inlet disposed below the liquid surface and a siphon outlet positioned above the surface proximate the tube throat; wherein the rotating siphon pipe draws and rotates the liquid through the siphon pipe into the tube throat drawing the gas into the throat mixing with and scrubbing the gas; and a second opening in the container for discharging the scrubbed gas from the container.
Claims20
A gas scrubber for removing particulate and undesired gases from a gas stream, said scrubber comprising:
- a container having a bottom wall and a top wall interconnected by a side wall for containing a liquid having a surface forming a space between said surface and said top wall;
- a tube mounted through said top wall, said tube having a tube inlet opened exterior of said top wall connected via a throat to a tube outlet disposed in said space, said tube allowing a gas to flow from exterior said container into said space;
- a motor having a rotatable shaft, said motor positioned above said top wall, said shaft extending through said tube;
- a siphon pipe connected to said rotatable shaft, said siphon pipe having a siphon inlet disposed below said liquid surface and a siphon outlet positioned above said surface proximate said tube throat;
- wherein said rotating siphon pipe draws and rotates said liquid through said siphon pipe into said tube throat drawing said gas into said throat mixing with and scrubbing said gas;
- and
- a second opening formed through said container for discharging said scrubbed gas from said space exterior of said container.

- a siphon pipe connected to said rotatable shaft, said siphon pipe having a siphon inlet disposed below said liquid surface and a siphon outlet positioned above said surface proximate said tube throat, said siphon outlet being larger than said siphon inlet;
- wherein said rotating siphon pipe draws and rotates said liquid through said siphon pipe into said tube throat drawing said gas into said throat mixing with and scrubbing said gas;
- and
- a second opening formed through said container for discharging said scrubbed gas from said space exterior of said container.
