FAQ:
Q: What is the main advantage of 316 SS demister pads?
A: They offer superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride/saltwater environments, lasting 3-5 times longer than standard steel.
Q: What size droplets can these remove?
A: Effectively captures droplets as small as 3 microns with ≥99% efficiency.
Q: How do I choose the right thickness?
A: Standard 100mm works for most applications; 150mm provides higher efficiency for fine mists.
Q: What temperatures can they handle?
A: Continuous operation up to 480°C (900°F), with short-term peaks to 550°C (1020°F).
Q: How do I clean them?
A: Simple water rinsing or mild chemical cleaning; avoid abrasive methods.
Q: What's the delivery time?
A: Standard sizes ship in 5-7 days; custom configurations take 2-3 weeks.
Q: What's the typical lifespan?
A: 5-8 years in continuous operation, depending on chemical exposure.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: Yes, we offer technical drawings and installation guidelines with every order.
