Industrial Scrubbers and Air pollution Control

Abstract

Air pollution appears as a more straightforward problem which is facing the whole world, where it affects the ecosystem; it harms animals in general and humans in particular. As a result, scrubbers were used in industries to remove harmful chemicals and acids from polluted gas [1]. Scrubber is a waste gas treatment installation as it uses liquid to remove particulate substance or gases from an industrial use or flue gas stream [2]. In other words, scrubber is an air pollution device control, where an atomized liquid, typically water, drags particles and pollutant gases in order to successfully wash them out of the gas stream. Scrubbers can be used as an emission-limiting technique for many gaseous emissions. The two types of scrubbers, which are wet and dry scrubbers, mainly approach the same aim: achieving air pollution reduction.
