Dust Control & Filters
Wet Scrubber
A wet scrubber system is a necessary choice for any detention slaker to ensure that most, if not all, of the lime is used in the slaking process and is not lost to the air. When moving lime into the slaker, some lime dust may be emitted and the wet scrubber ensures that the lime goes back into the slaking process instead of into the environment.
A wet scrubber is an essential component for dust control and collection in lime slaking processes. A wet scrubber system captures the dust or vapor in the lime slaking process by introducing a water curtain across the extracted air stream from the chamber. A venturi eductor induces a vacuum that pulls the dust into the scrubber wetting zone and is wetted by a water spray nozzle.
Any dust or vapor that escapes the wetting zone is knocked out by the baffles located in the knockout zone and is returned to the chamber resulting in no wasted product. A slight negative pressure in the chamber created by the forced draft wet scrubber also helps prevent dust from escaping into the plant area for a cleaner, safer, and operator-friendly environment.
