Demister Pads - Stainless Steel & Plastic Mesh, 99.9% Efficiency For Liquid Droplet Removal

Demister pads or Mist eliminators are porous blankets of metal wire or plastic knitted mesh, designed and constructed for the efficient, economical removal of entrained liquid droplets from vapor streams. Demister Pads can be fabricated in any required size and shape and may be installed in new or existing process vessels.
HOW IT WORKS
When vapor and entrained liquid droplets pass through a mist eliminator, the vapor moves freely through the mesh pad but the liquid droplets, due to their greater inertia, cannot make the necessary sharp turns and as a result are thrown into contact with the wire surfaces and briefly held there. As more droplets enter the pad and collect on the wires, they grow in size, run down the wire to the bottom surface of the mesh separator and fall from the unit. Overhead vapor is now free of entrained liquid.

MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
Mesh and grids may be made from most metals and plastics i.e. SS-304, 304L, 316, 316L, Metal, Nickel, Copper, P.T.F.E., H.D.P.E., P.P. etc. and other metals, alloys or plastic which can be drawn or extruded.
Air filter mesh is most commonly used filtration material in the automotive industry. It has typical applications as air filters, entrainment separators, silencers, flame arrestors, oil filters etc.
EFFICIENCY
When properly designed demister pads can give efficiency up to 99.9% with minimal pressure drop. Normally demister pads can remove droplets down to 5 microns and lower with a free volume of up to 99%
