High-efficiency annular gap scrubber

Optimize your off-gas management with advanced gas cleaning and pressure control, ensuring effective dust collection and operational efficiency in challenging industrial environments.

The Annular Gap Scrubber by GEA, originating from the proven GEA BISCHOFF technology, specializes in high-efficiency industrial gas cleaning and pressure control. Featuring a dual-stage process, it utilizes a pre-scrubber for initial cooling and coarse dust separation, followed by an RS-element with an axially adjustable conical gap for fine de-dusting. Ideal for iron and steel plants, it ensures emission compliance and operational safety. Capable of integrating seamlessly with existing systems, this equipment delivers superior dust collection and non-clogging spray nozzles, optimized for continuous, high-efficiency use in challenging environments like blast furnaces and steelmaking facilities.

Benefits

  • Enhances operational efficiency by achieving high de-dusting effectiveness in a compact design.
  • Reduces maintenance with non-clogging spray nozzles that ensure consistent performance.
  • Integrates pressure and flow control to maintain stable production processes.
  • Supports sustainability goals by efficiently cleaning industrial gases and managing emissions.
  • Adapts to varying gas flow rates, ensuring process reliability under fluctuating conditions.
