Abstract:
A control system for controlling the scrubbing of particles from an airflow comprising:a) at least one wet scrubber to which liquid and the airflow is applied, for scrubbing particles from the airflow, and having an input and an output;b) a first sensor for detecting particles in the airflow at the input of the wet scrubber;c) a second sensor for detecting particles at the output of the wet scrubber,d) a controller for receiving the outputs of the first and second sensors to monitor the amount of particles detected at the input and output of the wet scrubber;e) a liquid regulator responsive to the controller for adjusting the amount of liquid applied to the input of the wet scrubber; andf) adjusting means in the wet scrubber responsive to the controller for controlling the velocity of the airflow through the wet scrubber.
