MicroMistTM Wet Scrubber Advanced Scrubbing Technology Ultra-High Efficiency Fossil Fuel Pollutant Capture
The MicroMist™ Scrubber
Benefits of MicroMistTM Scrubbing Technology Lower Energy Consumption - MicroMist System Typically Operates With Less Than 25” W.C. of Total Pressure Drop Lower Equipment Costs than Standard Scrubbing High Capture Efficiencies on Acid Gasses & Submicron Particulate High Capture Efficiencies on Condensable Compounds Retrofits on Existing Equipment = Minimal Down Time Proven Results!
What’s Different? Sequence of Scrubbing “Events” Quenching and Sub-Cooling Patented System Employing Fine Droplets Uses Proprietary Dual-Nozzle Contact Trays, High Efficiency Mist Eliminators with Irrigation Lower System Pressure Drop Affects the Ability to Scrub Fine Particulate, Acid Gases, and Heavy Metals in “One System” Water Management and Experience High Flexibility for Varying Gas Flow
Conventional Scrubbers DIRTY SCRUBBER EXHAUST PROCESS EHAUST Low Particulate Collection Efficiency Inefficient Energy Use (>70” W.C.) Atomization of Particulate Collection Affects Draft Poor Turn-Down Little Effect on Condensable Compounds Difficult Solids Control WATER SEPARATOR STAGE VENTURI STAGE SATURATED GASSES DRAIN DRAIN
MicroMistTM Scrubber Clean Flue Gas Gas High Particulate Collection Efficiency (>99.5%) High Capture Efficiency of Acids & Condensable Compounds (>98.9%) High Capture Efficiency of Heavy Metals (95% - 99% + ) Energy Efficient (System ∆P <25” WC) Atomization for Particulate Collection Independent of Draft Excellent Turn-Down Superior Solids Control & Segregation
Stage 1: Quench Clean Flue Gas Gas 1 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements Quenching Upstream of True Venturi Tubes 95% Particulate Removal Removal of SO2 & HcL Separation of Drain Water < 1” WC Pressure Drop 1 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements
Stage 2: Sub-Cooling Clean Flue Gas Gas 2 Conditioning Agglomeration Absorption of acid gasses Removal of SO2 & HCL and PM > 1 micron 2 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements
Stage 3: Patented True Venturi Stage Flue Gas Clean Gas Stage 3: Patented True Venturi Stage Condensation and Agglomeration of H2SO4, Fumes and Sub-Micron Particulate Internal Throat Atomizer Controls Differential Pressure With Varying Process Loads (Control to ~16” WC) Correct Droplet Atomization for Maximum Collection Efficiency Venturi Design Achieves Multi-Stage Liquid/Particle Differential Velocities for Sub- Micron collection Separate Drain for Maximum Liquor Management & Ph Control 3 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements
Venturi Tubes are “Ideal” Design Incorporating Maximum Particle/Droplet Collisions & Pressure Recovery
Vertical Centrifugal Pumps Patented MicroMistTM Venturi Stage Vertical Centrifugal Pumps Atomization Through HydroMist Nozzles at the Inlet of Each Venturi Tube and Independent of Throat Velocity. Internal Throat Atomizer Modulates (Pump VFD) To Maintain Specified Pressure Drop Across This Stage
Stage 4: Separation Clean Flue Gas Gas 4 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements High Efficiency Separator Stage Combination of Dual Orifice Contact (DOI) trays with Mist Eliminator “Flushing” Removal of Dirty Water Droplets With Irrigation And Backwash Spray Nozzles Prevents Carry Over of Water into Scrubber Outlet 4 MicroMistTM Scrubber Elements
Additional Features MicroMistTM Scrubber Maximize Re-use Water With Recirculation Tanks Minimize Fresh Make-up Water Experience with PH Control Steady ∆P Across All Process Operating Conditions No Hassle Maintenance Proven Results With All Fuel Sources (Coal, Oil, NCG) “One System” Air Pollution Control Option UL Listed Control Enclosures With Fully Automated Control Capabilities MicroMistTM Scrubber

Piloting the MicroMistTM Scrubber Pilot testing emissions control applications is the most effective way to predict performance, operating conditions & chemical consumption. Pilot units must be accurately “scalable” to ensure correct and predictable results Pilot units must be modular to allow simple addition and subtraction of process stages
