The AEROSEP® system is specifically designed for the collection of hygroscopic, submicron particles (or “aerosols”) as small as 0.2 µm in diameter. The technology utilizes particle growth via nucleated condensation and a stage-wise collection approach to meet the most stringent removal efficiency requirements.

• Stage 1 – Pre-conditioning stage for gas saturation and removal of particles 3 µm and larger.
• Stage 2 – Particle growth stage, where nucleated condensation enlarges aerosols to around 1 µm.
• Stage 3 – Coalescing stage in a B-GON® Mist Eliminator, agglomerating particles to approximately 10–12 µm.
• Stage 4 – Entrainment separation in a B-GON® Mist Eliminator to remove the enlarged particles.

The AEROSEP® is a proven technology for emission control in various applications, such as flue gas clean-up in municipal solid waste incineration, coal-fired power generation, nitrogenous fertilizer production, and semiconductor manufacturing, among other processes that benefit from this technology.

AEROSEP® Features

• High submicron removal efficiency, guaranteed to meet tightening emission standards
• Flexible vessel size and shape
• Modular vessel fabrication for faster delivery and installation
• Flexible component adaptability: KON-TANE® and B-GON® designs can be interchanged for optimized or adjusted performance
• Simplified maintenance with:
  • Easy installation and removal of KON-TANE® and B-GON® via PANTS HANGER™ cassette or BATTEN BAR™ modules
  • Removable spray lances
  • On-line cleaning service for KON-TANE® and B-GON®
• Multi-stage flexibility within a single vessel, allowing each stage to function individually to:
  • Treat different pollutants without cross-contamination
  • Independently control the liquid-to-gas (L/G) ratio
  • Recover different solution concentrations
  • Apply cooling or heating, and add or remove liquids
• Low operating costs through longer uptime, energy savings, and minimized maintenance needs

Cost Advantage

Compared with wet electrostatic precipitators and ionizing scrubbers, the AEROSEP® offers a significantly lower initial capital investment.
