Three air atomizing series. How do you choose?
Start with where the air meets the liquid.

Internal mix nozzles combine air and liquid inside the nozzle, so changing air pressure changes the liquid flow. External mix nozzles keep the streams separate until they leave the tip; each can be set to its own operating condition. In applications where the liquid’s viscosity is above 200 cP, external mix is the one to use.

From there, each nozzle series leads with a different strength:
▸ XA. Versatility. Interchangeable air and fluid caps produce eight distinct spray types, in internal or external mix, pressure-fed or siphon-fed down to 0.1 GPH.
▸ SpiralAir® (SA). Less air at high flows. Ideal for industrial gas cooling applications demanding high flow, atomization, and reduced air consumption.
▸ SAM. Precision. External mix with automatic control, so coverage and droplet size adjust without changing liquid flow. Ideal for coating.

Compare all three:

What actually determines how fast water evaporates from a pond?

Surface area. And a pond only has so much of it.

For operators handling brine, oil and gas field waste, tailings, and process wastewater, solids have to be recovered before the water can go anywhere. Waiting on surface evaporation is slow. Expanding the pond speeds it up, but it costs land and water.

Spraying does the same job without either. Atomizing water into the air multiplies the exposed surface area, so evaporation happens in flight instead of at the waterline.

What drives the rate:

▸ Environment. Temperature, humidity, and wind speed set the ceiling on what's achievable.
▸ Placement. Nozzles distributed evenly above and around the pond give droplets maximum residence time.
▸ Pressure drop. Higher ∆P means smaller droplets and more surface area per gallon.
▸ Clog resistance. Solids-laden water will find any restriction in the flow path.

Two BETE nozzles built for it:

TFXP: a full cone spiral that produces droplets 30-50% smaller than conventional whirl nozzles at equal pressure, with free passage that clears particles the size of the or***ce itself.

TH: a right-angle hollow cone, cast in one piece with no internal parts and uniform distribution around the periphery.

Take the stink out of the equation with precision spray.

What are the actual mechanisms behind eliminating or neutralizing foul odors?

BETE misting and air atomizing nozzles are effective at increasing the surface area to react with or absorb odors in open-type scrubber systems. BETE axial whirl nozzles are most efficient at achieving even distribution over the packing surface, ensuring no gas penetrates through the packing, in packed bed-type scrubber systems.

3 Types of Odor Control Treatment:

• Absorbents, including water, are liquids sprayed to reduce any unpleasant odors in gases
• Deodorants are sprayed to chemically break down or alter an odoriferous compound's aromatic molecules
• Coverants are better-smelling substances sprayed to mask or conceal undesired odors.

Making cleaner fuel isn't a clean process.

What does it actually take to control emissions in renewable fuel production?

Renewable fuel pathways can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with the petroleum fuels they replace. But the plants that produce them run demanding processes of their own, and spray technology plays a critical role in three key areas.

• Chemical Injection — Introduce reactants, scavengers, inhibitors, and other chemicals at multiple stages of the process

• NOx Removal — Inject ammonia or urea solutions into flue gas to convert harmful nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water

• Gas Cooling — Spray water into hot combustion exhaust to reduce gas temperatures during normal operation or provide rapid cooling during emergency quench applications

Pack more performance into your spray distribution →
What actually happens inside a packed bed scrubber?

Nozzles distribute scrubbing fluids over packing material in either a vessel or a column, forming a thin film of liquid on the packing in packed bed scrubbers. The gas passes through the packing material, making contact with the liquid film. This action allows for high surface area contact for cooling, condensation, or a chemical reaction between the scrubbing liquid and process gas. BETE spray technology is designed for uniform distribution of scrubbing fluids over packed beds, ensuring even run-down through the packing, and preventing gas from bypassing through the scrubber.

Recommended nozzles for packed bed distribution:

✓ MP full cone nozzles provide clog-resistant performance and the largest free passage available in a full cone nozzle
✓ NC full cone whirl nozzles are available in a wide variety of plastic materials for corrosion resistance
✓ WL full cone whirl nozzles offer exceptionally uniform spray coverage and versatility

A little wear goes a long way, and not in a good way.

What measures can be used to prevent nozzle wear?

20% or***ce wear can result in more than a 50% increase in nozzle flow rate, which may cause streakiness, heavier sections, fluttering, or skewed/lopsided spray patterns. Two major factors of nozzle wear are erosion and corrosion, which can be prevented by monitoring spray performance.

Erosion is caused by abrasive wear from spray media or surrounding environment and enlarges a nozzle's or***ce, which increases flow rate and alters its spray pattern.

Corrosion is caused by chemical attack and reaction from spray media or environment and negatively affects drop size and spray uniformity.

Preserve your equipment:
• Inspect your nozzle for visual signs of wear or damage.
• Watch for irregular streaks or uneven distribution
• Measure flow rate and pressure, and compare them with target values, including outlet temperature and pollutant levels.

Catch wear before it strikes.

Not every drop lands where it's supposed to.
What is the difference between theoretical spray coverage and actual spray coverage?

Spray angle and spray coverage are crucial for a variety of applications across several industries. Because of this, it is important to understand the difference between theoretical spray coverage and actual spray coverage, and how to properly measure a spray angle.

Theoretical spray coverage is the spray pattern a nozzle would achieve without interference from gravity, drag, and air resistance. In reality, actual spray angle is almost always going to be affected by external forces, becoming more narrow the further away it travels from the or***ce.

For applications where exact coverage is crucial, it is essential to know how to calculate the correct spray angle for your process. BETE's catalog includes spray angle and distance charts to help.

Fighting foam?
How do you knock down foam without creating more of it?

Foam buildup in aeration and settling basins, mixing vessels, or below weirs and spillways can lead to overflow, safety hazards, and costly downtime. Precision spray is the fix: droplets must be large enough to effectively pop foam bubbles on impact, but small enough so that the spray itself does not produce even more foam.

BETE Foam Control Nozzles:
• MaxiPass full cone nozzles offer even coverage, consistent drop size, and clog resistance
• NF flat fan nozzles deliver high impact spray
• SF snap-release fan and hollow cone nozzles provide an easy-to-install, adjustable solution for configuring foam control headers
• FF deflected fan nozzles provide maximum wide-angle spray coverage and clog-resistant performance

Tough on equipment. Tougher on your budget.

What happens when corrosive decay goes unnoticed in a chemical injection line?

Heavy-scale buildup reduces flow passages, potentially blocking part or all of a process stream, and risks clogging or damaging your downstream equipment. High corrosion degrades infrastructure materials and components, ultimately hurting your bottom line.

Compared to open-ended injection quills, full cone, hollow cone, spiral, and misting nozzles enhance spray coverage and reaction surface area for harmful compounds, including H2S, to reduce expensive infrastructure damage and ensure environmental regulations compliance.

Turn the problem around with BETE nozzles and injection lances:
✓ Superior control over spray patterns, droplet sizes, and flow rates
✓ Retractable spray lance designs that allow for nozzle withdrawal, isolation, or removal without process outages
✓ Precise inhibitor and neutralizing liquid distribution into process streams
