Growing concern about the effect of hydrochloric acid gas (HCl) on environment and abatement of it is now a very serious issue. This present paper is focused on developing a realistic model in order to remove the HCl from the off gases using self-priming venturi scrubber, A detailed parametric study of throat gas velocity (36-72 m/s), liquid level in outer cylinder (0.40-0.77 m) and inlet concentration of HCl (100-500 ppm) on HCl removal efficiency have been done with normal water as a scrubbing liquid. Also the removal efficiency was enhanced by using NaOH solution as a scrubbing liquid in submerged and non-submerged conditions. Therefore, the maximum removal efficiency of HCI was obtained as 87.83% with normal water and 92.54% with 0.005N NaOH solution as the scrubbing liquid at inlet HCI concentration of 500 ppm, throat gas velocity of 60 m/s and liquid level of 0.77 m in submerged condition. Experimental results were validated with the developed empirical model and showed excellent agreement with less deviation.
