Venturi scrubber performance hinges on four key design factors: pressure drop, particle size, water flow, and entrainment separation.  When a Venturi scrubber is not performing properly, it is best to review these design factors one-by-one. Pressure Drop Perhaps the most [...]

Envitech is often asked to make recommendations for particulate removal on a wide range of industrial applications.  This might entail deciding if a Venturi scrubber can do the job or if a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) is required.  Envitech uses proprietary modeling that [...]

Concern for global climate change coupled with high oil prices has generated new interest in renewable energy sources.  One of these sources is waste to energy using gasification.  Gasification is a thermal destruction process which produces synthetic gas (syngas) as [...]

Venturi scrubbers are used for the removal of fine particulate.  Gas is accelerated at a high speed through a Venturi throat.  Water is injected perpendicular to the gas flow.  The large water drops injected into the gas stream collide with the [...]
