In its simplest form, a venturi scrubber consists of a restriction in a gas duct into which water is introduced. The scrubbing occurs at the restriction where high gas velocities atomize the water into fine droplets. After scrubbing, the gas and water are separated in a cyclonic separator, the water gravitating to a pumping tank for re-use and the clean gas leaving from the top of the separator.
