Calaceto, R R

A venturi scrubber apparatus for separating and collecting particulate matter from gases. A stream of incoming gas is divided into a plurality of flow channels which provide input to one of a parallel plurality of venturis. Water is injected proximate the inlets of the convergent sections of the venturi passages. Alternately, a manifold also distributes water at the throat entrance along the longitudinal center line of a rectilinear throat, permitting enlargement of throat width in a range of fifteen to twenty inches with effective scrubbing. Pivoting vanes in the throat provide a variable-area throat.
