absorber

Explanation:
see this text from the American fed. gov't where "scrubber" and "absorber" seem to be used in the same way you see in your text.
See also ref's below:
"Three advanced technologies demonstrated in the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Coal Technology Program have pushed a new generation of technologies for "scrubbing" unwanted pollutants from the flue gas of coal combustion into the 21st century.
To profile the projects, the Energy Department has released a new 27-page topical report entitled Advanced Technologies for the Control of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Coal-Fired Boilers. The report describes the federal government's partnership demonstration projects with Pure Air on the Lake, L.P., Southern Company Services, and New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG), each of which tested a new improvement in flue gas desulfurization technology.
"Results from the three demonstration projects have expanded the number of options available to utilities for reducing sulfur dioxide emissions while also reducing costs," said Robert Gee, the Energy Department's Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy. "These technologies will benefit the public not only by helping to clean the air but also by reducing future costs for environmental compliance."
Pure Air on the Lake, L.P.
The first of the three flue gas desulfurization projects to complete its demonstration, Pure Air on the Lake, L.P., ran from 1992 to 1995. Pure Air is a partnership between Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc. The Bailly Generating Station of Northern Indiana Public Service Company hosted the Pure Air demonstration at its plant on Lake Michigan, 12 miles northeast of Gary, Indiana.
During the three year demonstration a uniquely designed scrubber treated the combined flue gases from two boilers. Pure Air installed a scrubber with a cocurrent flow of gas and liquid, an air rotary sparger located within the base of the absorber and a novel wastewater evaporation system.
The Pure Air Advanced Flue Gas Desulfurization demonstration removed sulfur dioxide in one absorber which prequenched the flue gas, absorbed the SO2, and oxidized the resulting calcium sulfite to wallboard-grade gypsum. The Pure Air process averaged a 94% SO2 removal rate, with a maximum of over 98%. "
