A spray tower (114) is provided for removing gases and particulate matter from flue gases which are produced by processing operations of the type carried out in utility and industrial facilities. The spray tower is configured so as to minimize its overall height, such that construction, operational and maintenance costs of the tower are also minimized. A tank (130) located at the base of the tower serves as a reservoir for an alkaline slurry used to remove gases and particulate matter from the flue gases. The slurry is pumped from the tank to spraying devices (116, 118) located within the tower. An inlet (112) is located above the tank through which the flue gases are introduced into the tower. Disposed within the tower and adjacent the inlet is an enclosure (128) having an upper end joined to the tower and a lower end defining an opening. Spraying devices are located within the enclosure, preferably at approximately the same height as the inlet, so as to enable the overall height of the tower to be reduced.
