Dry Type Scrubber

A dry Scrubbing system unlike the wet scrubber does not saturate the flue gas stream that is being treated with moisture. Therefore, dry scrubbers do generally not have wastewater handling/disposal requirements.

Advantages of Wet Scrubber

• Dry scrubbers are also more commonly used than wet scrubbers mainly because they produce comparatively little waste material.
• The use of dry scrubbers is less expensive as there is no associated cost with removing, transporting, and storing waste water from wet scrubbers.

Disadvantages of Wet Scrubber

• Initial Investment is higher than Wet scrubber.
