What is the Function of Wet Scrubbers in Industrial Processes?

For over 40 years, Kimre™ has been a respected leader in the design and implantation of wet scrubbers in plants around the globe. Generally, scrubbers are known for their function of “scrubbing” unwanted particles that find their way into the gas stream. Wet Scrubbers are found in chemical plants, acid manufacturing plants and steel making plants, amongst others.  Wet scrubbers are utilized when a gas stream becomes contaminated by particulate or a gas, or a combination of both. Some gas pollutants could be ammonia, chlorine, or sulfur compounds. In the wet scrubber, these gasses will be dissolved or absorbed into the scrubbing liquid. The liquid many times is water, but can vary depending on the pollutant. In Industrial exhaust systems these harmful gasses or particulates must be removed to ensure optimal performance and compliance. Particulate matter is microscopic or liquid matter that finds its way into the gas stream. When the liquid comes into contact with the dust particulate, the heavier and coarser particles are washed out and carried down to make contact with the mist eliminator pads.

Drift Eliminator’s And Uses In The Industry

The drift eliminator is an important component of most cooling towers used today in various industries where harmful droplets have the potential to be released into the environment. These droplets are composed of minerals, chemicals and water, which can impact not only the environment but your equipment. These harmful droplets are known as drift. Water loss from a cooling tower is inevitable, however making sure the water is harmless vapor is possible and essential. 

To address the loss of harmful droplets, a drift eliminator must be installed. However, a one-time installation is not the answer, there must be properly a designed product constructed of quality materials and maintenance to ensure proper functioning. 

Prior to explaining the components, we should elaborate on Kimre’s™ Driftor, Drift Eliminator.

Maintain Uniform Volume and Flow with Tower Packing

One of the most important factors in unit operations is distillation. The distillation and cooling processes occur by utilizing the internals. Internals, as important as they are to the operation, are not easily accessible. This is why it is imperative to choose the proper internals for the tower. Having the best option possible will allow for less down time and more production.

Here is a list of differences between packed and tray towers as well as the advantages of choosing tower packing technology.

Packed Tower Design and Applications

Tower packing creates a large amount of surface area per volume where the liquid-vapor mass transfer will occur. The vertical positioning of the surfaces allows for far more even flow during which the vapor and liquid remain in continuous contact with the packed bed surfaces. Unlike the step*based contact of the tray bed tower, this process is uninterrupted, improving flow and increasing the overall volume of processed vapor.

This was a brief overview of the packed tower design and applications. If you’d like to consult our specialists and decide which of them is best for your process, feel free to contact us.

The Emerging Role of The Oil Mist Separator in Preventing Air Pollution

Strick regulations regarding waste, health, safety and environmental issues are highly in effect.

Many of these regulations pertain to air pollution.

Air pollution can be caused by many things, from greenhouse gas emissions, to smoke particles, chemicals and oil amongst many others. This is one of the reasons why the important technology of oil mist separator has become very high demand.

Combined with Fiber Bed Filters, the Kimre B-GON® Mist Eliminator will do an excellent job trapping harmful oil droplets and keeping the indoor air quality optimal, thus minimizing hazards to employees and the environment.

The Kimre B-GON® Mist Eliminator is Kimre’s™ own proprietary technology.

Kimre offers full-service engineering and manufacturing, including delivery, installation, technical assistance and maintenance of our products.

Being the manufacturer we are able to offer our products at highly competitive rates.

The Cooling Tower Drift Challenge – Solved!

Cooling towers are an essential part of power plants and other types of industrial facilities.

A cooling tower is essentially a heat rejection device that emits the accumulated heat produced by the facility, which is also known as waste heat.

This is achieved by channeling excess heat into a stream of water that absorbs it and then releases it out into the atmosphere. This can be done in several different ways. One is the evaporation of water, or by the presence of air that takes in the heat. The latter is the case in closed circuit cooling towers.

In either case, loss of water is inevitable, because even in closed circuit systems, some evaporation will occur and water droplets will find their way out into the atmosphere.

This loss of water is undesirable for two reasons – operational efficiency and drift control.

Setting aside the question of efficiency caused by evaporation loss, let’s focus on the problem presented by cooling tower drift. Which is by far the greater concern.

Cooling tower drift is not by any means harmless water vapor. It is water that has become infused with chemicals and pollutants that can cause short and long-term damage to the environment and one’s health.

Remove Contaminant Liquids Easily With Coalescer Pads

One of the main challenges faced by modern industry, whether it is fertilizer manufacturing, metal manufacturing, auto mechanics, chemical plants amongst various others is dealing with dangerous pollutants.

One of the main challenges faced by modern industry, whether it is fertilizer manufacturing, metal manufacturing, auto mechanics, chemical plants amongst various others is dealing with dangerous pollutants.

This challenge has many factors, here we focus on two primary components:

1. Efficient pollutant /contaminant removal

2. Cost effective removal of contaminants

The ideal solution for the liquid separation process for example, which is the topic of discussion here, would be a method that is both highly efficient, and extremely cost effective.

Introducing Kimre’s LIQUI-NOMIX® Liquid Coalescers

This patented technology is the “definition” of efficiency and cost effectiveness in the liquid separation process.

It works by “polishing” streams of water to catch and remove liquid contaminants from them.

The result is a below 2 PPM water quality, fit for absolutely any industry standard.
