Abstract:
An apparatus for treating gas having entrained pollutants including at least one reaction chamber substantially filled with a reaction media bed, said reaction media bed receiving gas to be treated therethrough, said reaction media bed comprising a plurality of generally rectangular ceramic blocks each having opposed end faces, generally parallel side faces and generally parallel gas passages extending through said blocks through said end faces, said ceramic blocks stacked in side-to-side and end-to-end relation within said reaction chamber with said gas passages through said end faces generally coaxially aligned forming a reaction media bed of ceramic blocks with a portion of said gas flowing through said media bed through said gas passages, and said ceramic blocks further including chamfered edge faces extending at an angle between at least one of said side faces and each of said opposed end faces having gas passages extending therethrough, said chamfered edge faces thereby providing gas flow through said chamfered edge faces and between said ceramic blocks equalizing the gas pressure within said reaction chamber.
