A pollution control system and method in which hot flue gas is cooled to saturation in a quencher and passed through a condenser absorber assembly to further cool the saturated gases while growing small particles as the particles act as nuclei for the condensation of water vapor thereon. The grown particles are carried through an aperture having a low pressure drop throat so that high efficiency particle collection is accomplished. At its outlet, the aperture produces a concentration of the gases and water droplets. A dome shaped gas reverser, having its concave surface directed upstream, is located spaced apart from the aperture and in substantial alignment with the outlet of the aperture. The gas reverser receives the gas stream as it exits the aperture, mixing and diffusing the gas and its constituents as they change direction to spill out over the lip of the gas reverser.

Pollution control system and method of using same

A pre-atomized spray scrubber and related method is disclosed. The scrubber has special utility in the removal of particulate and gaseous contaminants from a gas stream and comprises a housing defining a flow path therethrough. The housing is divided into first and second sections by a deck which is configured such that as the gas stream flows through the first section, it flows across the deck and then into the second section. A series of liquid spray nozzle banks are disposed in the housing, either in the first or second section and are arranged and configured so as to aid in directing the gas stream from the first section into the second section. An entrainment separator is also preferably disposed in the housing to further aid in the removal of the contaminants from the gas stream.
