A demineralized water injection system is needed to quench calciner furnace exhaust gas upstream of dust collection equipment at a chemical processing plant during the manufacture of specialty catalyst. Spray nozzles need to produce small droplet sizes to achieve complete evaporation, which requires pumps for high-pressure water supply, controls, and instrumentation to regulate and monitor the gas temperature.

Cleaning tanks that contain corrosive materials can be problematic. The corrosion-resistant materials used to make the vessels are not usually ideal for manufacturing tank cleaning nozzles. When the environment is corrosive to even the highest grade steels, tank cleaning solutions are limited – particularly in larger tanks where rotary tank cleaners are required.

Cooling of exhaust gases from the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is critical to controlling temperatures of the gas in the ductwork as it enters the baghouse to prevent a fire. Air atomizing nozzles are ideal for cooling the gases because they produce very fine droplets, but air consumption can be high and costly if the proper nozzle is not selected.
