Developed in association with Bayer, the venturi Hybrid REITHER® scrubber combines the technology of jet washers and REITHER® venturi scrubbers. The Hybrid REITHER® is equipped with a fix throat cross section which maintains a constant pressure drop across the throat, hence a constant separation efficiency, independent of any flow rate fluctuation. As in a jet scrubber, the use of hybrid compressed air-water nozzles allows the spraying of very fine drops of water.

The hybrid nozzles lead to dust pre-agglomeration. In the Hybrid nozzle the scrubbing liquid is atomized by compressed air, whereby a pulsation of ejection of drops is produced by installed resonance chambers. This scrubber achieves very high efficiency separation of sub-micron dusts with a low pressure drop. The design allows it also to be used as a gas absorber.

The specially designed nozzles have the additional feature of spraying with a pulsating motion that causes very strong turbulence within the gas and leads to pre-agglomeration of dust particles. The gases mixed with the water drops are then passed through a venturi throat in order to capture the ultra-fine dust in the washing liquid.
