Where is the absorber pump typically located?

The absorber pump is an essential component in systems that manage exhaust and emissions, particularly in processes involving gas scrubbing. It is typically strategically placed between the outlet damper and the stack to effectively control the flow of flue gases that need to be treated before they exit the system.

Positioning the absorber pump in this location allows it to draw the gases from the outlet damper directly into the scrubbing system, ensuring optimal removal of pollutants and maximizing efficiency. This setup ensures that emissions are treated effectively by allowing the absorbent solution to interact with the gases immediately before they pass through the stack, which is crucial for achieving compliance with environmental regulations.

This location is also advantageous for monitoring and maintaining the pressure differential needed for efficient operation, as the pump can create the necessary suction to facilitate proper flow rates of gases being processed.
