The Bionomic RotaBed > * GasScrubber represents a majortechnological breakthroughdesigned to provide ultra highefficiency gas a b s o rption orp a rticulate remova l .The key to the RotaBedْssuperior performance is aunique, swirl-induced Corioliseffect created in the scrubbersturbulent, high mass transferbed.This effect providessuperior stability and turndowncapability over less advanceddesigns.Combined with a ғpackless,highly plug-resistant grid crosssection that is 99% open in thefluidized contact/scrubbingzone, RotaBed delivers excep-tionally high gas throughputcapacity (4-6 times greater thanpacked towers or trayscrubbers) that results inmaximum scrubbing efficiencyat lower costs.RotaBed Scrubbers areavailable in all materials ofconstruction with standardmodels from 130-122,900 acfmand larger sizes on a custombasis.A cost-effective skid-mounted ScrubPac ?Smaller diameter scrubber vessel and trouble-free design reduce space requirements,installation,and operating costs ?Advanced packless scrubbing technology provides up to 600% greater absorption efficiency per unit volume than packed scrubbers as well assuperior particulate removal ?ԓFreeenergy from Coriolis scrubbing effect provides removal efficiencies >99% at lowest possible operating cost ?Low solubility contaminant gases are easily handledwith multiple Coriolis fluid bed stages ?Availability of modules to retrofit existing spray, packed tower or tray scrubbers provides a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement of existing equipment > ԙ versioncomes prepackaged with allauxiliary piping, pumps, instru-mentation, and other necessarycomponents forslide-it-in, hook-it-upoperation.Pilot rental units arealso available for on-site testing and are backed by completeprocess andengineering support. > ?Gaseous and particu-late contaminant removal from processing opera t i o n sin the chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, semicon-ductor, fertilizer, petroleum, and food industries?Acid gas removal from high tempera t u r ethermal oxidizers ?Chlorine dioxide removal in pulp and paper bleach plants?Acid and alkali fume removal from pickling, galvanizing, and cleaning lines including HCL regeneration plants in the metals industry?Odor control and VOC removal from process and waste treatment operations?Flue gas desulfurization at power generation facilities?and many others > *Patent PendingRotaBed and ScrubPacٙ are trademarks of Bionomic Industries,I n c . size="-1">

During operation, contaminated gasand particulate matter enter thescrubbers gas inlet and flow upwardwhile scrubbing liquid is introducedvia the liquid scrubbing distributor.A stationary Coriolis swirl inducer,with gas turning vanes and liquid dra i ns l e eve, imparts an angular componentto the upflowing gas and a vortexswirl to the draining liquid to rotatethe bed.The scrubberҒs open, pack-lessӔplug-resistant grid creates anddefines the fluidized scrubbing zone.Fully open, straight pipe liquid inletsdevoid of spray nozzles that can plugor blind are used to introduce thescrubbing liquid...
