Characteristics

Wire Mesh Mist Eliminators are easy to install cost effective separators that are able to collect liquid particles 2 to 10 microns in diameter with essentially 100% efficiency if designed properly to the process conditions. They are available in almost any size or shape and can be manufactured in a broad range of metals or plastics.

They are produced as multiple layers of knitted mesh making it a dense pack and presenting a large surface area to the droplets entrained in the gas stream. The separation of the droplets is achieved by impingement on, and capture by, the wires of the mesh where the droplets coalesce and drain. Most of the wire mesh mist eliminators are supplied complete with rigid open area support grids allowing direct installation onto support structures such as beams and rings. The mist eliminator is made out of sections allowing easy handling and access through the vessel man ways. Additional accessories such as tie wire, bolting, clamps and support beams can be delivered if needed.
