Emissions are gases emitted from industrial production, trade, services or activities. Emissions often contain pollutants such as dust, SO2 gas, NOx, VOC,.. if discharged directly into the environment will cause air pollution, acid rain, greenhouse effect,… threaten human health and the ecosystem.<\/span><\/div>\n

What is absorption tower?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
Absorption tower is a device designed to remove pollutants in flue gas by physical or chemical adsorption method. It is an effective flue gas treatment solution for many industries such as metallurgy, chemical, cement, petroleum, power generation, etc…<\/span><\/div>\n
Definition and operating principle of absorption tower:<\/strong>\u00a0Absorption tower is a tower containing adsorbent material, the exhaust gas is brought in from the bottom of the tower and flows upward, the pollutants in the exhaust gas will be absorbed to the surface of the material. After filtering through the material layer, the clean exhaust gas will escape at the top of the tower.<\/span><\/div>\n
Structure and main components of the absorption tower:<\/strong> Absorption tower is usually cylindrical, the height can be up to several tens of meters. The main components include:<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Tower body: contains adsorbent material stacked in the form of layers or bulk piles<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Gas distribution system, which distributes exhaust evenly throughout the material<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Liquid collection system: collecting water from the absorption process to the bottom of the tower for further treatment<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Auxiliary devices: fans, pumps, control systems,…<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The steps of waste gas treatment by absorption tower include:<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. \n
      The exhaust is fed in from the door in the tower body, through a heat exchanger if necessary to lower the temperature to a level suitable for the adsorption process.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      The gas passes through the of the adsorbent material and flows upward through the cavities of the material layer.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n
      The pollutants in the flue gas will be absorbed onto the surface of the material particle. After passing through the thick material layer, the flue gas is cleaned.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    4. \n
      Clean exhaust gases escape from the top of the tower through the exhaust pipe. This gas must be tested to ensure the standard before being released to the environment.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    5. \n
      The liquid condensed during the adsorption process is collected and sent to the bottom of the tower by the drainage system for further treatment.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How absorption towers remove pollutants from exhaust gases<\/span><\/h3>\n
      In the absorption tower, the adsorption material particles have a very large surface area, which is suitable for the pollutants in the flue gas to cling to the surface. When the flue gas passes through the material layers, the pollutants tend to stop on the surface of the material due to the interaction between the molecules of the pollutant and the material molecules. This process is called physical adsorption. Besides, some materials also catalyze the chemical reaction between the pollutants together to form less toxic products.<\/span><\/div>\n

      Absorption tower gas treatment application in the following industries:<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • \n
        Metallurgy: gas treatment SO2, HF, HCl<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Chemical: remove VOC, NH3, H2S<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Pharmaceutical: recovery of evaporated organic solvent<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Food: handling odors and VOCs<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
