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.
