In foundries many toxic pollutants are escaping their removal mechanism and blend with the environment which would cause degradation of the flora and fauna around the industry and also the humans around. For preventing this many devices are being installed called Pollution Control Devices (PCD). There are many PCD's which are used based on the raw material, product type and the size of the industry. In this study two devices are being analyzed computationally, Wet Scrubbers and Fabric Filters. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a technique which is flexible, safe, cost and time effective process where the designing, testing and comparing different solutions are made possible. Here in this study, both the devices are analyzed for their flow properties on regard with the parameters of velocity and pressure in a turbulent flow pattern. In the result it can be seen that the devices has different pressure drop points and differential velocity magnitude along the wall shear stress and the flow analysis shows a better flow of gas molecules through the fabric filters under K-∑ turbulence model.
