Removal of the poly vinyl chloride (PVC) dust particles by a new dynamical scrubber in a PVC manufacturing
plant is presented in this work. The effects of inlet air flow rate (containing PVC particles) and
water flow rate (the physical absorber of particles) on the PVC dust removal efficiency were investigated.
The size of the PVC particles which have been treated in this study was ranging from 0.5 up to 20 m. The
experimental results showed approximately 100% removal efficiency for particles larger than 1 m and
73% for 0.5 m particles while employing low water flow rates. The results of these experimental tests
indicate a good performance of the scrubber in a short residence time (about 2 s) which is also completely
economic for removing fine particles.
