This 100,000 ACFM 316LSS wet scrubber was designed to remove taconite dust from a gas stream of a plant located in the Mesabi Range of Northeastern Minnesota. Taconite is one of the most abrasive substances found in mining operations. In the process of manufacturing taconite pellets from iron ore, large amounts of humid ventilation air containing the dust are produced. The most efficient piece of air pollution control equipment for removing the dust is a heavy-duty industrial wet scrubber as shown here.
