An agricultural solutions company, American Peat Technology, transforms locally harvested unprocessed peat
The customer selected two identical Envitech horizontal Venturi scrubb
The skid arrangement allows the scrubbers to be shop assembled and tested prior to shipment. The combination of a variable throat Venturi with a chevron style mist eliminator allows a wide turn-down ratio while maintaining high performance. The use of a wet scrubber instead of a bag-house eliminates the potential for bag fires that could be caused by occasional hot embers entrained in the gas. The facility is also able to make use of the latent heat absorbed by the scrubber, making use of hot recirculated scrubber water to thaw out frozen peat in the winter before it is fed to the dryers.
The scrubbers were commissioned in December 2019 and are now operational. Both scrubbers are used for two dryers providing a wide operating range. The scrubbers meet the design parameters listed below:
