THE INJECTOR SPARGER GAS CONTACTING SYSTEM



The Injector Sparger is a simple and efficient way to scrub gasses in a confined area with limited space. These are especially suitable for scrubbing liquid ring vacuum pump exhaust. The principal is simple and well known. By using an injector to entrain the gas in a recirculating liquid stream, the gas is already dispersed by the time it reaches the tank. Proper sparger design within the tank ensures the gas is dispersed in a rotating solution to maximize contact time.

An injector is a passive device similar to a venturi or eductor that uses the motive force of a liquid to generate a negative pressure at a small orifice. The motive liquid is passed through a constricted area where the injection chamber is located. The increase in velocity through the injection chamber results in a lower pressure that draw the gas into the passing liquid stream. The gas is entrained in the liquid and carried along as very fine bubbles.

In operation, a large reservoir of solution is recirculated through the injector causing the gas from the process area to be sucked into the suction port on the injector. The solution is entrained in the recirculation line and enters the reservoir. The solution can be monitored in the recirculation line and the addition of treatment chemicals can also made in the recirculation line. This insures fast and accurate sensing and mixing.

The system is used for scrubbing almost any gas using almost any liquid as the motive force. The system is easily configured for any "on the fly" processing. The suction port is fitted with a check valve to prevent solution in the line from backing up the inlet to the process area.


The system is available with many options including

  1. Suction flows of 50-2400 scfh (95 l/min - 1140 l/m) (up to 75 gpm liquid)
  2. Single or dual pumps
  3. Various types and sizes of collection tanks, polyethylene, Kynar, fiberglass or polypropylene
  4. Various chemical additions including, pH adjust, ORP, polymer, etc.
  5. Filtration (media, bag or cartridge)

Please call or fax us for a quotation. We need to know:

  1. Gas flow to treat
  2. Motive liquid
  3. Material to be removed by the liquid
  4. chemical addition requirements
  5. filtration
  6. and the next process
