The V-tex(TM) is suitable for a wide range of difficult scrubbing and stripping applications, where it delivers economic and technical advantages over conventional packed tower, tray, venturi and fluidised bed scrubbers. The V-tex(TM)is particularly effective in cases where there are both particulate and gaseous contaminants present, or when the pollutants react to form a glutinous by-product or slurry.
V-tex(TM) not only overcomes many of the reliability issues of traditional scrubbers but with its vortex process flow design and non-clogging opposed jet nozzle it also allows highly efficient process intensification. This is shown in the diagram below.
The gas is introduced into the specially designed vortex chamber and follows a spiral path to the centre of the chamber. The scrubbing liquor is sprayed out from the centre of the chamber using a unique opposed jet spray nozzle which generates a fine mist of rapidly moving droplets. These droplets capture the contamination and thus clean the gas.
This technology has gained wide acceptance over the last 10 years and is used in the nuclear, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, metal finishing, optical fibre, and microelectronics industries. V-tex(TM) also provides a flexible and reliable method of cleaning fuel gas, either from gasification or anaerobic digestion of organic waste.
ERG (Air Pollution Control) is based in the United Kingdom and has a 30 year track record as a leading supplier of air pollution control systems and services. ERG specialises in odour control systems; V-tex(TM) scrubbing, stripping and condensing technology; soluble contamination capture and recovery; particulate removal systems; hazardous waste flue gas cleaning systems, and VOC abatement.
