ABSTRACT:
A throat section of a venturi for passing a flow of fluid therethrough comprises a plurality of spaced parallel physical barriers. The physical barriers are oriented parallel to the direction of fluid flow through the throat section. The throat section is installed in a throat zone of a venturi scrubber defined by an upstream zone having an unobstructed upstream section, a throat zone having the throat section, and a downstream section. The spaces between adjacent barriers are from about 3/16 inches to about 8 inches so as to create free stream zones between adjacent barriers. Each barrier may have a selected length which decreases with distance from the axis of the throat section. A method for treating a stream of effluent fluid containing entrained particulates by introducing the effluent fluid and target droplets into the throat section so as to promote impaction therebetween is also described.
