The synthesis gas leaving from the coal gasification process is having particulate matter and other gaseous pollutants majorly hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen chloride (HCl). Wet scrubbers can simultaneously remove the gaseous pollutants and dust particles from effluent gas streams. Dual-flow sieve plate column wet scrubbers can be used for the removal of acid gases from the exhaust gases. A three stage lab scale dual-flow sieve plate scrubber has been designed, fabricated and installed. Experiments were conducted to remove the HCl from the synthesis gas at different gas-liquid ratios within the gas flow rates (QG) 8.297 × 10-4 Nm3/s, 13.829 × 10-4 Nm3/s and 19.36 × 10-4 Nm3/s, liquid flow rates (QL) 20.649 × 10-6 m3/s, 34.415 × 10-6 m3/s and 48.183 × 10-6 m3/s and at different inlet HCl concentrations (CHCl,i) 100 ppm, 200 ppm and 300 ppm range usin..
