Which system is used during incineration to remove ash from exhaust gases?

The cyclonic wet scrubber is an effective system used during incineration to remove ash and other particulate matter from exhaust gases. This technology operates by utilizing centrifugal force to separate particles from the gas stream. In a cyclonic scrubber, the gas is directed into a cyclone chamber where it spirals downwards. As the gas flows, heavier ash particles are forced to the outer walls of the chamber due to the centrifugal action, which allows them to fall into a collection chamber while the cleaner gas exits through a central outlet.

In addition to removing particulate matter, wet scrubbers can utilize water or other liquids to further capture soluble gases and additional air pollutants, enhancing the overall efficiency of the incineration process. The cyclonic action improves the ability to handle large volumes of gas while maintaining a relatively compact system.

The other options do not effectively serve the same function in the context of ash removal from exhaust gases during incineration. Filtration systems primarily focus on the mechanical removal of particles and are not specially designed for the high-temperature and high-volume gas streams produced in incineration. An activated charcoal system is primarily used for adsorbing specific volatile organic compounds or odors from the gas stream, rather than ash. Biological treatment systems are focused on
