Abstract
Method for cleansing gas from solid, liquid and/or gaseous contaminants, by bubbling the gas through a liquid bath (32), and by introducing the incoming gas into a distribution means (14) and causing the gas to pass in part-streams through a multiple of inlet orifices (64) located at progressively increasing depths beneath the surface (34) of the liquid (32). With increasing inlet pressure an increasing number of inlet orifices (64) are utilized for an increasing number of part-streams. The gas flow is passed from respective inlet orifices (64) through connecting means (24, 26, 28) to outlet orifices (31) located at a considerably higher height level (h) than corresponding inlet orifices (64). The gas flow is caused to flow out through venturi nozzles (28) and/or to strike against impinger or striking surfaces (39) with a minimum pressure drop corresponding to said height differential (h). In this way full operational pressure is immediately achieved, as soon as gas is passed out through any of the inlet orifices (64), and an intense mixing of gas and liquid as well as a high cleansing efficiency are guaranteed.
