Carbon steel spray tower

Carbon steel spray tower is located inside the carbon steel spray tower, where the liquid is in a dispersed phase and the gas is in a continuous phase. Generally, the gas-liquid ratio is small, making it suitable for absorption processes with extremely fast or rapid chemical reactions.

In general, carbon steel spray towers allow gas to enter from the bottom of the tower and pass through the entire equipment upwards after being evenly distributed through the gas distribution system. At the same time, the liquid is sprayed by one or multiple nozzles, and the gas comes into contact with the liquid droplets in reverse flow. After purification, the gas is demisted and discharged from the top of the tower.

The advantages of carbon steel spray towers are simple structure, low cost, low gas pressure drop, and no blockage. Its main feature is complete openness. The nozzle is the main component of the spray tower, and it is required to provide small and uniform liquid droplets to ensure the effective operation of the spray tower.

Carbon steel spray towers can be divided into three forms based on the different directions of gas-liquid flow inside, namely counter flow, forward flow, and cross flow.

A carbon steel spray tower in the downstream form, where liquid and dusty airflow flow in the same direction inside the tower, usually dripping down from the top, is beneficial for separating liquid droplets from the airflow. The disadvantage is that the inertial collision effect is poor, and it is mainly used to cool and humidify the gas. The cross flow form of carbon steel spray tower, that is, the liquid is showered down from the top of the tower, while the dusty airflow is horizontally passed through the spray tower.
