Abstract

The Flue Gas Emission Purification System is an innovative, modular, and integrated industrial emission treatment concept designed to reduce atmospheric pollutants generated by combustion processes and other industrial operations.

The proposed system combines multiple physical and chemical purification technologies within a coordinated treatment architecture. Its principal components include a Venturi scrubber for particulate capture, a packed gas–liquid absorption tower, a bubble-cap contactor or alternative sieve-tray configuration, mist elimination devices, and an optional wet electrostatic precipitator for enhanced removal of fine particulate matter and aerosols.

The architecture also incorporates liquid recirculation, chemical neutralization, process monitoring, automated control, and optional thermal energy recovery. Advanced configurations may integrate dedicated nitrogen oxide reduction technologies and additional pollutant-specific treatment stages.

The principal innovation lies in the coordinated integration of complementary purification mechanisms into a flexible, scalable, and adaptable industrial platform. The modular design is intended to support different emission sources, pollutant compositions, treatment requirements, and operating conditions while enabling systematic optimization of purification performance, energy consumption, reagent use, and maintenance requirements.

The proposed development targets pollutant-specific removal efficiencies of at least 99.9%, with advanced configurations investigating the feasibility of reaching 99.99% for selected contaminants under suitable operating conditions. These figures represent research and engineering objectives rather than experimentally demonstrated performance.

The system is currently at the conceptual engineering stage and requires prototype construction, computational assessment, pilot-scale testing, and independent experimental validation to establish achievable removal efficiencies, operating costs, energy requirements, and industrial applicability.

The invention is presented as an open industrial hardware architecture intended to encourage scientific collaboration, technological development, and further research into sustainable industrial emission control.
