As industrial activity increases worldwide, air pollution control has become more critical than ever. Industrial facilities are mandated to limit emissions of harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO?), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and acidic gases. Among the most effective technologies used to mitigate these pollutants are scrubbers — devices designed to remove contaminants from industrial exhaust streams.
There are two main types of scrubbers used in industrial applications:
Wet Scrubbers
Dry Scrubbers
Although they share the same goal — removing pollutants from gas streams — they function quite differently. This article explores the mechanisms, applications, benefits, and limitations of each technology to help industries make informed decisions.
