Multi-Vortex is a new type of wet air scrubber that consumes heavily contaminated water

The Multi-Vortex Scrubber can utilize water contaminated with dust, sand, and even small rocks to capture particulate matter, different kinds of dust, and certain gases from the air. Multi-vortex scrubbers are increasingly replacing conventional scrubbers in ore and coal mining.

With fan system

Multi-Vortex Scrubber has several advantages over conventional wet air scrubbers:

  • Compact. It features various phase exchange technologies, making it more compact by comparison. Multi-Vortex Scrubber has a squared section and could fit any available space.
  • Omnivorous. Multi-Vortex Scrubber is never going to be clogged. Cleaning water may be highly mineralized (up to 250 g of salts in 1 liter of water) or may contain sand, even small rocks.
  • Eco-friendly. Multi-Vortex Scrubber reduces the volume of turnover water  – by 90% in some cases.
  • Low maintenance. The Multi-vortex scrubber has a low running cost. In most cases, there is no need to interrupt its operation for at least 5 years.

Applications and Designs of Multi-Vortex Scrubber

Scroiler_open tray 400

Wet dust collector for coal and ore over Conveyors and Loading Facilities

A 5000 m3/h Multi-Vortex Scrubber was specially designed for installation above the conveyor belt. This type of scrubber – we call it Scroiler™ or “umbrella type” – is in mass production. It fits a standard 60-80 cm conveyor belt width and a typical speed of 1.5-3 m/sec. Scroiler™ is normally set at the conveyor belt feed or car dumper and the discharge. Air treatment quality depends on the ore or coal type and varies from 99.95% to 99.99%.

We manufacture this compact Scroiler™ in series. The air supply fan with a capacity of 5000 m3/h, makes it autonomous from air vents.

Capturing SOx, HCN, and other gases

The Multi-Vortex Scrubber can be used in mining, combustion, and chemical processes to capture gases. Typical gas applications are:

  • Gold mining leach process – HCN
  • FGD process at the aluminum plant – SOx
  • Flue gas desulfurization at Coal Power Plant (CPP) – SOx
  • Acid vapors scrubber at zink production – HCl

In some cases, the unique Multi-Vortex Scrubber design helps to apply cheaper reagents to capture the pollutant gas more efficiently than a typical wet scrubber. Air treatment quality depends on the pollutant gas and reagent, and varies from 85.00% to 99.99%.

The Multi-Vortex Scrubber will be custom-designed to your requirements. This system will have to be joined with the client’s pressurized gas/air vents. The typical capacities are 5,000 m3/h, 10,000 m3/h, 15,000 m3/h, 20,000 m3/h, 25,000 m3/h, 30,000 m3/h, 35,000 m3/h, 40,000 m3/h, 45,000 m3/h or 50,000 m3/h. The Multi-Vortex Scrubber may be adjusted on location to achieve any capacity within this range. Several Multi-Vortex Scrubbers can be combined to obtain an even bigger capacity of 100,000 m3/h, 200,000 m3/h, and higher.

Compact Hard and Soft Hood

Most air pollution control systems currently installed worldwide – packed bed scrubbers, tray towers, plate columns, Venturi scrubbers, cyclone dust collectors, baghouses, and others – can be effectively replaced by Multi-Vortex Scrubbers. There are more than 200 Multi-Vortex Scrubbers installed since 2011. Almost half of them are retrofitted to replace old wet air scrubbers of different types. In some cases, a Multi-Vortex Scrubber system could be installed inside the existing tower by replacing the old scrubber system.

Multi-Vortex Scrubber features patented technology

Contaminated air passes through the dispersive grating of special form upwards to produce a spatial field of multiple gas microturbulence vortices. Cleaning liquid falls free over this spatial field. Microturbulence disperses liquid to form a highly effective cleaning mist.

The airflow outline inside the Multi-Vortex Scrubber may be seen in the image to the right.

Multi-Vortex Scrubber requires an external cleaning liquid (water) feed system and external waste liquid disposal. In most cases, the cleaning water can be returned to the process to form the closed water cycle. As a result, Multi-Vortex Scrubber saves up 90% of water compared to other scrubber types.

The Multi-Vortex technology is patented in 16 countries.

Please note the water falls free from the source over the far left angle of the dispersive grating and then disperses evenly over all the grating.
