What is the difference between a spray tower and a cyclone tower?
Principle: Spray tower is a process of removing particulate or gaseous pollutants by spraying water mist into the exhaust gas, utilizing the spray water mist and pollutants in the gas for mass transfer, mass transfer, and reaction. The cyclone tower is a mechanical dust collector that separates solid and liquid particles from the exhaust gas through the rotation and separation of the airflow.
Usage: Spray towers can be used for almost all types of waste gas treatment, but their treatment efficiency is relatively low. Cyclone towers are suitable for treating flue gas with low particle concentration and large particle size.
Structure: The spray tower has a simple structure, low cost, low gas pressure drop, and will not block. The interior of the cyclone tower mainly consists of a cyclone bucket, a filling demister layer, a spray layer, a water circulation system, a water tank, and other parts.
Advantages: The advantages of spray towers include simple structure, low cost, low gas pressure drop, small equipment footprint, convenient installation, low water and electricity consumption indicators, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, long service life, reliable equipment operation, and simple and convenient maintenance. The advantages of cyclone towers mainly include low resistance, low energy consumption, low noise, and high treatment efficiency. They can handle various types of dust and exhaust gases, and are suitable for continuous and intermittent pollutant discharge treatment. The management and operation are convenient and simple, and the footprint is small.
In summary, spray towers and cyclone towers each have their own characteristics, and their selection needs to be based on actual situations and needs in application.
