Whirl / Wet Dust Collection Systems Provide Air Pollution Dust Control and Collect Dusts Above 5 Microns. High Efficiency Dust Collection System has Low Operating Costs Whirl/Wet employs a unique process to create intensive mixing of the dust particles and water. To infuse dust particles with water droplets, the mixture is passed with high velocity through a fixed-position dual opposed blade system. The mixing of the dust-laden airstream and liquid takes place and, to increase turbulence, a tangential airstream is injected through a linear slot in the lower blade assembly. Rotation is accelerated, droplets in the airstream are eliminated through a mist eliminator located downstream, and particulate material is deposited on the bottom of the unit for recovery or disposal. Water level is maintained automatically and make-up water is only necessary to compensate for evaporation or sludge removal. Whirl/Wet operates in the 99%+ efficiency range for a wide variety of applications and over a wide range of micron sizes. |
