   Figure 1-Centrifugal fan scrubber. Mechanically aided scrubbers are a form of pollution control technology. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as wet scrubbers. In addition to using liquid sprays or the exhaust stream, scrubbing systems can use motors to supply energy.

6. Venturi scrubber - Wikipedia

   Figure 1 - Venturi scrubber Ejector venturi scrubber. A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from a high-velocity inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as wet scrubbers.
