Abstract: ABSTRACT DESIGN CONCEPT OF A WET SCRUBBER DUST COLLECTOR FOR TEMPERATURE REDUCTION AND AIR SEDIMENTATION PROCESS An integrated wet scrubber dust collector system is disclosed for simultaneous exhaust gas cooling, particulate matter (PM) immobilization, and gravity-assisted sedimentation. The apparatus includes an insulated inlet duct structured to receive a high-temperature, dust-laden gas stream (250°C to 400°C) from an industrial exhaust. The gas stream is directed into a vertical scrubbing chamber featuring a high-pressure fluid manifold and atomizing spray nozzles that generate a high-density, localized micro-droplet water fog. This droplet field lowers the temperature of the passing gas via instantaneous thermal heat transfer while capturing airborne coarse and fine particulates PM 10 and PM2.5 via inertial impaction, direct interception, and diffusion. Directly below the scrubbing chamber, the system features a sedimentation tank with an expanded cross-sectional area configured to rapidly decrease the linear velocity of the fluid stream, allowing gravitational forces to dominate and settle out the weighted, dust-laden water clusters into a concentrated low-point bottom sludge layer. A control valve evacuates the accumulated contaminants into an isolated sludge collection tank. The remaining cooled, decelerated gas stream is directed upward through a tortuous-path chevron baffle mist eliminator assembly, which strips entrained micro-droplets and moisture vapours via inertial impact before releasing dry, clean, and thermally stabilized air safely through a vertical discharge chimney.
