📘Hybrid Wet Electro-Scrubber— Next-Generation Multistage Electrochemical Air-Water Purification System —


【Overview

This system is a next-generation hybrid purification device that integrates wet scrubbing with multistage electrochemical treatment.
It enables simultaneous removal of gaseous and aqueous pollutants such as odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oil mists, particulates, and heavy metals — particularly from industrial exhaust and wastewater streams.


【System Structure and Functional Flow

◉ 1. First Chamber – Dynamic Pressure Stabilization & Atomization Zone

  • Utilizes a bladeless inlet design with an expanded cross-sectional area, minimizing turbulence and dynamic pressure loss.
  • Converts kinetic energy into stable laminar flow, pressing uniformly on the water surface to generate fine aerosol mist.
  • The mist-laden gas spirals downward in a vortex pattern, entering the second chamber in a stabilized, distributed state.

◉ 2. Second Chamber – Hydrodynamic Cleaning & Primary Electrocoagulation

  • Enhanced vortex flow increases the gas-liquid contact interface, facilitating physical impurity removal.
  • Integrated multilayer parallel electrodes (anode/cathode) initiate the following electrochemical reactions:
    • Electrocoagulation: Neutralizes and bridges colloids, particles, and oil droplets, forming flocs.
    • Anodic Oxidation: Decomposes odor and organic compounds.
    • Cathodic Reduction: Reduces or immobilizes heavy metal ions (e.g., Cr⁶⁺, Pb²⁺).

◉ 3. Third Chamber – Advanced Electrochemical Reaction Zone

  • Features parallel high-efficiency electrodes enabling simultaneous treatment of gas and water phases.
  • Ensures uniform electric field distribution, eliminating dead zones and incomplete reactions.
  • Pollutants undergo complete decomposition, coagulation, or conversion into stable forms.

【Effluent Handling and Control Mechanisms

  • Aggregated flocs naturally settle at the chamber bottom and are periodically removed via an automated discharge valve.
  • Treated clean air is safely discharged through a rear negative-pressure exhaust fan.
  • Equipped with an automatic water-level regulation system, ensuring continuous operation and electrode stability.

【Electrode Materials and Customization Flexibility

Electrode materials can be selected based on target pollutants, with the following options available:

MaterialPropertiesApplication Targets
Carbon (Graphite)High conductivity, chemical resistanceOils, emulsions, organic wastewater
Aluminum AlloysAl³⁺ assists coagulationSuspended solids, turbidity
Stainless Steel (SUS304/316)Corrosion resistanceAcidic wastewater, metals
Titanium + MMO CoatingHigh current density, long lifeVOCs, odors, recalcitrant organics

Future expansion includes use of conductive polymers or nano-structured electrode surfaces to further enhance performance.


【Key Technical Highlights

  • 🌀 Bladeless air rectification for minimal pressure loss and mist stability
  • Multistage electrochemical processes for unified gas-liquid treatment
  • 💧 Tri-effect mechanism: atomization + vortex + electroreaction
  • 🔁 Continuous operation and maintenance-friendly automation system
  • 🧪 Flexible design to adapt electrode materials to pollutant profiles

【Applications

Ideal for:

Environments demanding a single-unit solution for both exhaust gas and wastewater purification

Chemical plants, plating lines, semiconductor wastewater, painting/printing VOC sources, incineration exhaust

Multi-pollutant scenarios requiring simultaneous odor, particle, VOC, and heavy metal treatment
