Whirl / Wet Dust Collection Systems
Provide Air Pollution Dust Control
and Collect Dusts Above 5 Microns

High Efficiency Dust Collection System
has Low Operating Costs

Whirl/Wet employs a unique process to create intensive mixing of the dust particles and water. 
To infuse dust particles with water droplets, the mixture is passed with high velocity through a
fixed-position dual opposed blade system.  The mixing of the dust-laden airstream and liquid takes
place and, to increase turbulence, a tangential airstream is injected through a linear slot in the
lower blade assembly.  Rotation is accelerated, droplets in the airstream are eliminated through
a mist eliminator located downstream, and particulate material is deposited on the bottom of the
unit for recovery or disposal.  Water level is maintained automatically and make-up water is only
necessary to compensate for evaporation or sludge removal.  Whirl/Wet operates in the 99%
efficiency range for a wide variety of applications and over a wide range of micron sizes, with
removal efficiency dropping off under 5 microns.  For fine particle applications, PM2.5, submicron

APPLICATIONS

Whirl/Wet is effective for soluble and insoluble particles.  Applications, from metal grinding through
food processing are ideally suited to the Whirl/Wet.  Energy generated inside the unit will not allow
the system to clog under any operating conditions; therefore, the agglomeration and sticky residues
that plug baghouses are not a problem with the Whirl / Wet.

Whirl/Wet is a frequently specified dust collection system for the collection of coal, aluminum,
fertilizer and sugar dust. It satisfies the dust elimination requirements of stone finishing and battery
manufacturing. Whirl/Wet is ideal for controlling emissions from solar panel manufacturing. It is the
leading dust collection alternative wherever metal or plastic grinding or finishing generates
variable dust loadings.

Whirl/Wet is advantageous for  materials recovery.  Processes that were not formerly candidates for
materials recovery become good candidates as a result of the Whirl/Wet.  Click on baghouse dust
collection for a comparison between Whirl/Wet and baghouse dust collection. Low water use is
important, and Whirl Wet uses less water than any competitive dust collection system. To demonstrate
the effectiveness of Whirl Wet dust collection in your facility, Tri-Mer offers a Pilot Plant Program.
