Process and apparatus for removing contaminants from and pumping a gas stream comprising indirectly heat exchanging the gas and a liquid, introducing the liquid under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure in vaporized and atomized form into the gas, mixing same thereby entrapping the contaminants, and separating clean gas from the atomized liquid containing the contaminants. In one embodiment, a water jacket surrounds the hot gas conduit and serves both to cool the hot gases and to pre-heat the cleansing liquid. Also disclosed is an auxiliary mechanism for heating the cleansing liquid before injection into the gas stream. The combustibles in the contaminated gases may be used for such heating.
