Metal Wire Mesh Pad Demister Type and Applications

Working Theory of Wire Mesh Demister

Demister pads or Mist eliminators are porous blankets of metal or plastic knitted wire 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.
