Patent ID: 10384159

Abstract:
A gas inlet system for a wet gas scrubber includes a weir configured to deliver liquid to a scrubbing passage to wet the interior surface of the scrubbing vessel during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir include a weir duct and a weir trough extending at least partially around the weir duct to receive and at least partially fill with liquid during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir trough has an upper trough outlet in liquid communication with the upper weir duct inlet to deliver liquid from the weir trough into the upper weir duct inlet during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir trough also has a lower trough outlet below the upper trough outlet. The lower trough outlet is in liquid communication with the scrubbing passage to deliver liquid from the weir trough toward the scrubbing passage during operation of the gas inlet system.
