Dynamic Scrubber / Tray Scrubber

Multi-purpose wet scrubbing for simultaneous gas absorption and particulate removal

What Is a Dynamic Scrubber?

A dynamic scrubber (also called a tray scrubber or sieve-plate scrubber) is a wet gas-treatment unit containing horizontal perforated trays. Dirty gas passes upward through the liquid layer held on each tray, simultaneously absorbing soluble gases and capturing particulate matter. Unlike packed beds, the open tray design handles high dust loads without plugging, making it ideal for chemical plants, fertiliser factories, mining and metallurgy applications.

MDSJ Process (DUCON) designs and manufactures dynamic scrubbers with customised tray count, hole geometry, casing material and capacity, and delivers complete turnkey installation.

How It Works

Dirty gas enters the column from the bottom. As it bubbles through the liquid layer sitting on each perforated tray, soluble gases are absorbed and particles are captured by the liquid. Each tray acts as an independent scrubbing stage. Cleaned gas passes through a mist eliminator at the top and exits to atmosphere; spent liquid collects in the sump and is recirculated or discharged after treatment.

Why Choose a Dynamic Scrubber?

  • Simultaneous gas absorption and particle removal in one unit
  • Handles high dust loads without the plugging risk of packed beds
  • Each tray is independently accessible for maintenance
  • Ideal for hot, humid or sticky gas streams
  • Stable operation across variable gas flow rates
  • FRP, PP or stainless-steel casing options
