Design and Operation of a Submerged Bed Scrubber for off-Gas Scrubbing

摘要

Operation of a submerged bed scrubber has been characterized well enough to accurately estimate the collection efficiency for aerosols in an off-gas treatment system. The device has the advantages of a high degree of reliability and minimal control requirements. Correlations have been developed that allow direct specification of the design variables that are required to achieve a desire collection efficiency. The decontamination factors achievable through proper design and efficient operation are well within the acceptable range for a primary scrubber in nuclear off-gas treatment systems.
