Dual Throat Air Scrubber
|
Remove Airborne Particulate Matter
The Monroe Dual Throat Wet Air Scrubber is designed to remove both
heavy and light airborne particulate matter from industrial exhaust
systems, as well as flue and process gasses. The Monroe Dual
Throat Wet Air Scrubber is a completely self contained unit that
needs only to be connected to normal plant electrical, water
and air systems.
Recirculate Clean Air
In many installations, such as buffing and polishing, metal finishing
and grinding foundry operations etc., it is possible to recirculate
clean, contaminant-free air back to the work area. This reduces
the cost of plant ventilation systems and climate control needs.
Proven High Efficiency
Monroe Dual Throat Wet Air Scrubbers are currently operating continuously
at high efficiency in many types of industrial installations
throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Independent laboratory tests have shown that many of these
units are removing various types of airborne particulate at
efficiencies up to 99.9%, even on heavy particulate loads. |

A High Volume Water Injector
The Monroe Dual Throat Wet Air Scrubber utilizes a high volume wash water
injector system that removes airborne particulate by delivering an
initial surface inpingement shock to heavy inlet dirt loads.
Dual Adjustable Scrubbing Throats
High velocity atomization takes place as the inlet air is directed through
the fixed and dual adjustable scrubbing throats. The easily adjustable
dual throats balance the pressure drop through the air flow system
at the start-up or after system changes are made.
This design feature eliminates the need for ductwork dampers and
blast gates that are prone to particulate build-up and require
periodic maintenance. In addition, the increase in pressure drop
in the wash zone improves the overall effciency of the system.
Double Row Moisture Eliminators
After passing through the turbulent dual throat wash zone, the air inpinges
on the liquid surface, changes direction and then continues through
deflectors and to a large, double row moisture eliminator section.
Water droplets in the airstream are removed and drain back to the wash
liquid reservoir tank.
The clean, dry air is then recirculated to the work area or discharged
through exhaust ducts.
Minimum Wash Liquid Requirements
Waste water disposal problems are eliminated under normal operating conditions.
Each unit has a self-contained wash liquid reservoir and recirculating
pump. An automatic water valve replentishes wash liquid lost through
evaporation.
Optional automatic drag conveyors for removal of heavy, settled
particulate and oil recovery units provide additional wash liquid
cleaning for more efficient operation.
Materials of Construction
The Monroe Dual Throat Wet Air Scrubbers are constructed of mild steel
for most applications. However, where the intended use will involve
corrosive or highly abrasive contaminants, other construction materials
such as stainless steel or reinforced fiberglass, as well as special
coatings are availiable.
Moisture eliminators also are constructed of materials suitable
for the intended application, including polyethylene or stainless
steel.
Electrical Controls
Complete electrical controls are available to meet customer specific
requirements.
Many Configurations Available
Monroe Dual Throat Wet Air Scrubbers can be configured to meet specific
needs. Units can be equipped with drag conveyors to remove heavy, settled
particulate and oil recovery units to remove accumulated oil.
