What is a Mist Eliminator?

Mist Eliminator, also known as demisters, are essential in many process operations for the removal of entrained material in vapour flows. DemisterASIA’s Mist Eliminators pads provide a wide range of solutions suitable for any application.

Operation of a Mist Eliminator is based on having a large number of obstacles intercepting entrained droplets in a vapour flow. This large number of obstacles must provide minimum drop in pressure over the removal system.

Mist Eliminator pads are fabricated from knitted materials with interlocking asymmetrical loops of metal or plastic with typical diameters being 0.1 – 0.3mm. By careful choice of wire diameter, DA have produced demisters with extremely high free volumes (typically 98 – 99%) along with very high removal efficiency and low pressure drop.

How a Mist Eliminator Works:

Elimination of DA Mist Eliminator is dependent on droplet size:

5 – 9 micron 99%
> 10 micron 99.5%

Most of the weight of entrained mist tends to be associated with the larger mist particles (larger than 5 – 10μm) thus providing greater that 99.99% weight removal.
