ABSTRACT:
A scrubber for removing hydrocarbons and particulate matter from the gas exhausted from a dryer or similar open-flame device is comprised of a plurality of rectangularly cross-sectioned chambers having a first predetermined cross-sectional area and interconnected to one another end-to-end along a flow axis which is perpendicular to said cross-sectional area. Each of the chambers are separated from the adjacent chamber by means of a common baffle wall and a rectangularly cross-sectioned hollow baffle tube passes through each of the baffle walls to fluidly interconnect adjacent chambers. Each baffle tube has a cross-sectional area which is at least five times less in cross-sectional area than the chambers and has a plurality of baffle plates located in it to restrict the flow of gas therethrough. The baffle plates extend across the entire vertical extent of the baffle tube but only extend over approximately 2/3 of its horizontal extent with adjacent plates being staggered between attachment to the top and bottom of the baffle tube. Spray nozzles are located in the scrubber with one being positioned at the upper end of each chamber and one being positioned at the intersection of each of the baffle plates with the top wall of the baffle tube on the upstream side of the baffle plate.
