Abstract: Horizontal gas-liquid scrubbing systems and associated gas scrubbing methodologies are provided. In one embodiment, a horizontal duct scrubbing system includes a horizontally disposed housing having a waste gas inlet and a treated gas outlet, a liquid inlet manifold disposed within the horizontally disposed housing, the liquid inlet manifold comprising a plurality of nozzles oriented to spray a scrubbing liquor co-current to the flow of a gas stream flowing through the horizontally disposed housing, and a demister located proximal the treated gas outlet, where the horizontally disposed housing is substantially free of flow deflection members between the liquid inlet manifold and the demister.

Abstract: An optical fiber illuminator system in which a stream of air under the urging of an air moving device such as a fan is drawn in through an air intake zone and discharged through a more restricted air exhaust zone of an illuminator case. The fan is located intermediate the air intake and exhaust zones. By reason of such restriction there is a slight positive pressure down stream from the fan. The fan is thus caused to run more quietly. The operative components within the case are protected from liquid moisture by means of a moisture collecting gutter which funnels moisture away from the operative zones of the illuminator.
