Becoflex
Becoflex is a wet scrubber, brilliant in its simplicity, used to remove unwanted particles or odours from a gas flow. It is often fitted together with a demister to remove any entrained liquid droplets.
Becoflex is suitable for gas velocities from 500 m³/h to 25 000 m³/h. For larger gas flows, two parallel units can be installed.

Design and function
Becoflex is a wet scrubber often used in combination with a demister to remove unwanted particles or odours from a gas flow.
The Becoflex principle of operation is a wetted fibre brush rotating at high speed in a special volute fan casing, thus creating an extremely dynamic gas contact. Particles in the dirty exhaust gas stream are drawn into the unit by the suction generated by the rotary brush, and they impact at high speed with the spinning brush fibres and become thoroughly wetted. The next effect is for the particles to be centrifugally washed off, to impact on the wetted inner surface of the volute. The resulting slurry is then propelled along the bottom of the exit duct to the disengagement vessel, where it falls by gravity to the bottom for removal or recirculation.
The cleaned (wet) gas meanwhile flows upwards from the duct into the disengagement vessel and towards the top gas exit. Usually a demister is fitted to remove any entrained liquid droplets.
Becoflex is suitable for gas velocities from 500 m³/h to 25,000 m³/h. For larger gas flows, two parallel units can be installed.
Choice of material
Choice of material depends on the temperature and composition of the gas stream, among other things. The drum and vessel can be made from most metals and plastics. The brush fibres are made of PP or PVDF.
Checklist important parameters
In order to offer an effective and sustainable solution, below are a number of process parameters that are important to consider when selecting and designing a droplet separator.
Sometimes it is difficult or even impossible to obtain information and data regarding the specific process. Together with our suppliers, we have extensive experience and we can make sound assumptions as a basis for designing the best solution for the process.
