Demister
A Demister can be:
- Demister - A product used to clear a scuba mask of “fog”.
- Demister - A device that removes entrained liquid droplets from a gas stream.
EUROMESH® Wire mesh demister
Mist Eliminators are separation devices, used throughout all kinds of Process Industries, to remove liquid droplets from gas and/or vapour streams. The most commonly used type is the ‘wire mesh’ mist eliminator, as it has no moving parts and requires a little (if any) or no maintenance. Euromesh® wire mesh demisters are available in a wide range of styles, sizes and shapes. Wire mesh demisters are made slightly oversized and are to be compressed at their rim surface when installed, to fit snugly into the vessel.
In the Process Industry liquid mist, entrained in the product vapour, will undermines the process performance in several ways, such as:
Loss of Valuable Liquids
Loss in Overhead Vapour Quality
Fouling and Corrosion of Downstream Equipment
Catalyst Poisoning
Reduction in Operating Capacities
Unwanted Emissions from Vent Stacks
Often, this requires vapour-liquid separation in e.g. knock-out drums, heat exchangers, overhead accumulators, evaporators, crystallisers, liquid-phase reactor vents, compressor feed surge drums, or others.
BENEFITS, WHEN USING EUROMESH® DEMISTERS:-
* Higher separation efficiency
* Increasing throughput capacity
* Provides equipment protection
* Reducing the loss of valuable chemicals
* Prevents (air) pollution
* Eliminate contamination
* Improvement of product purity
APPLICATIONS
* Absorption columns
* Distillation columns
* Boilers and Scrubbers
* Oil/water separators
* Desalination units
* Salt- and sugar industry
* Desulphurization plants
Every mist elimination application is unique (!) Many times, the optimum mist eliminator solution requires more than using only a ‘wire mesh’ demister unit. Vane-type demisters, Inlet devices, Coalescers and/or Vapour distributors are accessories used to enhance the demisting performance.
