The invention relates to a gas liquid contactor and effluent cleaning system and method and more particularly to an array of nozzles configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets with reduced linear stability. An embodiment of the invention is directed towards a stability unit used with nozzles of a gas liquid contactor and/or an enhancer for stable jet formation, and more particularly to reducing the stability of liquid jets formed from nozzles of the gas liquid contactor. Another aspect of the invention relates to operating the apparatus at a condition that reduces the stability of liquid jets, e.g., a droplet generator apparatus. Yet another aspect of the invention relates to operation of the apparatus with an aqueous slurry. Still another aspect of the invention is directed towards to an apparatus for substantially separating at least two fluids.

1. A method of using an enhancer to reduce instability of jets formed from a nozzle plate of a gas liquid contactor, comprising the steps of: applying an enhancer to an inlet stream of a gas liquid contactor to reduce instability of jets formed from the gas liquid contactor; andforming a plurality of essentially planar liquid jets, each of said liquid jets comprising a planar sheet of liquid, said plurality of liquid jets arranged in substantially parallel planes, wherein at least one of the planar liquid jets comprises a substantially coalesced structure having a length, width and thickness about at least a portion of the at least one jet;providing gas with at least one reactive or soluble gas phase molecule; andremoving at least a portion of the gas phase molecules by a mass transfer interaction between the gas phase molecules and the plurality of liquid jets. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the enhancer increases or decreases at least one of viscosity, surface tension, density of the plurality of liquid jets. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the enhancer comprises an aqueous solution which comprises a polymer comprising a linear macromolecular partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide comprising a molecular weight in a range from about 16 million to about 18 million. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the enhancer comprises a glycol solution in a range of about 1% (w/w) to about 100% (w/w). 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the enhancer comprises at least one of a basic hydrogen peroxide solution, glycerol solution, ethylene glycol solution, polyvinyl alcohol solution, xanthum gum solution, cellulose ether solution, polypropylene glycol solution, and polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether solution. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at one of the essentially planar liquid jets comprises a height in a range from about 5 cm to about 30 cm and a thickness in a range from about 10 μm to about 1000 μm along at least a portion of the jet. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at one of the essentially planar liquid jets comprises a substantially coalesced portion and a non-substantially coalesced portion. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the enhancer is configured to adjust a surface tension of the planar liquid jets. 9. A method of using an enhancer to reduce instability of jets formed from a nozzle plate of a gas liquid contactor, comprising the steps of: applying an enhancer configured to increase surface tension of an inlet stream of a gas liquid contactor and to reduce instability of jets formed from the gas liquid contactor;forming a plurality of liquid jets forming a substantially planar sheet of liquid, wherein the substantially planar sheet of liquid comprises a substantially coalesced sheet and each of the plurality of the liquid jets comprises a physical structure having a height, length and thickness along at least a portion of each of the plurality of liquid jets;providing gas with at least one reactive or soluble gas phase molecule; andremoving at least a portion of the gas phase molecules by a mass transfer interaction between the gas phase molecules and the plurality of liquid jets. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the enhancer comprises an aqueous solution comprising a polymer including a linear macromolecular partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and a molecular weight in a range from about 16 million to about 18 million. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the enhancer comprises a glycol solution in a range of about 1% (w/w) to about 100% (w/w). 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the enhancer comprises at least one of a basic hydrogen peroxide solution, glycerol solution, ethylene glycol solution, polyvinyl alcohol solution, xanthum gum solution, cellulose ether solution, polypropylene glycol solution, and polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether solution. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the at one of the plurality of liquid jets comprises a height in a range from about 5 cm to about 30 cm and a thickness in a range from about 10 μm to about 1000 μm along at least a portion of the jet. 14. A method of using an enhancer to reduce instability of jets formed from a nozzle plate of a gas liquid contactor, comprising the steps of: applying an enhancer to a liquid inlet of a gas liquid contactor;forming a plurality of liquid jets, wherein at least one of the plurality of liquid jets comprises a substantially coalesced structure having a length in a range from about 5 cm to about 30 cm and a thickness in a range from about 10 μm to about 1000 μm along at least a portion of the at least one jet;providing gas with at least one pollutant; andremoving at least a portion of the pollutant from the gas phase by a mass transfer interaction between the gas and the plurality of liquid jets. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhancer increases or decreases at least one of viscosity, surface tension, and density of the plurality of liquid jets. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhancer comprises an aqueous solution which comprises a polymer comprising a linear macromolecular partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide comprising a molecular weight in a range from about 16 million to about 18 million. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhancer comprises a glycol solution in a range of about 1% (w/w) to about 100% (w/w). 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhancer comprises at least one of a basic hydrogen peroxide solution, glycerol solution, ethylene glycol solution, polyvinyl alcohol solution, xanthum gum solution, cellulose ether solution, polypropylene glycol solution, and polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether solution. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the at one of the plurality of liquid jets comprises a height in a range from about 10 cm to about 15 cm and a thickness in a range from about 20 μm to about 500 μm along at least a portion of the jet. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhancer is configured to adjust a surface tension of the planar liquid jets.
