1. A waste water processing system, comprising:
an upflow contacting column having a flue gas input for receiving flue gas having a temperature of at least 500 degrees F., a waste water input and a flue gas output, said waste water input being coupled to a fluid injector positioned in a throat of a Venturi portion of said upflow contacting column or in a sidewall of the throat of the Verturi portion of said upflow contacting column, said flue gas having a flue gas velocity exceeding 65 fps in said throat of the Venturi portion of said upflow contacting column at a position where the fluid injector is located,
wherein the flue gas output is coupled to a flue gas duct which directs a flue gas output of an air heater into a particulate collection device.
