Abstract
Low Speed Scrubbing Technology (LSST) is a new technology for the purification of industrial
exhausts from both gaseous and solid pollutants. It does not belong to either a counter-flow or co-flow system,
but is based on the idea of regime change. The LSST scrubber, known as the Low Speed Absorber (LSA), is free
of any mechanical or pressure loads, has low hydraulic resistance, and has no unreliable structural units. It is a
foolproof and serviceable construction
