SMOKEBLOCK PURIFICATION DEVICE

The Smokecblock device basically consists of a scrubber chamber installed in series on the flue, which is activated when the heat disposal plant is in operation at the beginning of afterburner chamber pre-heating, and it remains in operation throughout the heat disposal cycle until the plant is shutdown and cooled.

The operating principle of Smokeblock is based on the reduction capacity of a combined system consisting of a classic spray scrub column where a series of fine water barriers spray the entire section where fumes pass and douse dust transported in the gaseous flow thereby separating the two; solid particles are thus pushed to the outside of the device where they are then discharged together with excess liquid.

The water used for scrubbing is stored in a dedicated closed container where it is circulated, after sedimentation, by a centrifugal pump.

Thus, the system operates as a "closed circuit" without any need to replace water except for the water needed to replace the fraction lost by evaporation.

So, solid residues from the purification process remain inside this container. These residues are disposed of, like the ash from the incineration process, in compliance with current applicable regulations.
Smokeblock is characterized by:

• no need for additional space, except for the space required (little) for the tank. Possible height limits in the place of installation do not cause problems to operations and maintenance.

• its extremely simple operation and low maintenance costs.

• very low electricity consumption.

• very little noise or none at all

• very low installation costs.
