Mist Eliminators
FenixTM Mist Eliminators, made of pack of porous blankets of metallic
wire or plastic mesh, can be used whenever there is a need to remove
liquid droplets entrained in a vapor flow. Due to very high voidage,
the pressure drop is almost negligible. They prevent loss of valuable
products and help produce high quality condensate for applications such
as vacuum distillation including refinery operations, evaporators,
refinery lube towers, absorbers, steam drums, scrubbers etc.
Mass-transfer operations involving foaming/frothing liquids need mist
eliminators to prevent liquid entrainment in the product. Variables
that affect the design of a mist eliminator include vapour velocity,
liquid entrainment loading, particle size distribution, gas and liquid
viscosity and surface tension, operating temperatures, pressure and
material of construction.
For the purpose of preliminary selection, empirical equations are used
for the estimation of design gas velocity, pressure drop and separation
efficiency.
Chemicals, refineries, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, dyes &
intermediates, aromatics and other industries find use for FenixTM Mist
Eliminators.
