Venturi Wet Scrubber
Simple in Design, Yet Highly Efficient.
Sly Venturi Scrubber
The Sly Venturi scrubber efficiently collects fine particulate and mists. Scrubbing liquid is atomized into fine droplets that entrap particles. Adjustable throats for efficiency optimization are standard—capacities to 76,000+ CFM per unit.
The Sly Venturi Scrubber serves the industry in several ways. It removes pollutants present in process gas streams, including hazardous and nuisance dust, fumes, and mists from stack gases. By cleaning process gas streams to remove oils, dust, and other particulates, this scrubber allows the industry to recycle these gases as fuels or process raw materials. Finally, the Sly Venturi Scrubber allows the reclaim of valuable materials, which can lead to significant process savings.
Venturi Scrubber Principles: How They Work
The Venturi Scrubber uses the differential between high-velocity gases and free-flowing water to create droplets that entrap contaminants, hold them in suspension, and deliver them as a highly concentrated slurry. The Sly Venturi Scrubber offers more advantages in separating and recovering liquid mists and ultra-fine particulates than other gas cleaning methods.
Simple in design yet highly efficient, this Sly Venturi Scrubber incorporates features calculated to maximize collection efficiency while minimizing operating and maintenance costs. An adjustable pressure drop provision and energy regain feature are critical in rising energy costs, combining to reduce power consumption and operating costs.

Venturi Wet Scrubber – FAQs
How does a venturi wet scrubber work?
A venturi scrubber accelerates contaminated gas through a constricted throat where scrubbing liquid is introduced at high velocity. The intense mixing captures fine particulate and certain gaseous contaminants.
What applications are best suited for venturi scrubbers?
Venturi scrubbers excel at processing high-temperature, high-humidity gas streams, fine particulates, sticky dust, and spray dryer exhaust. They also offer greater safety than dry systems when handling combustible materials.
How efficient are venturi wet scrubbers at capturing fine particulate?
Venturi scrubbers can achieve very high collection efficiencies, often capturing particles as small as 1 microns, depending on system design and operating conditions.
Why would a facility choose a venturi scrubber instead of a baghouse?
Facilities often select wet scrubbers when particulate is hygroscopic, sticky, volatile, or difficult to handle with dry filtration systems.
What factors affect venturi scrubber performance?
Key factors include gas velocity, liquid-to-gas ratio, pressure drop, droplet size, and venturi throat geometry.
