Mist eliminators, also known as demisters, are widely used in the chemical and biochemical industry to remove moisture and other impurities from exhaust gases produced during various processes. In chemical plants, exhaust gases are generated during the manufacturing of different chemicals and intermediates. These gases contain moisture, particulates, and other impurities that can be harmful to the environment and pose a risk to the health and safety of workers.
Mist eliminators are typically installed in the exhaust ducts to remove moisture and particulate matter from the gas stream before it is released into the atmosphere. The mist eliminator works by forcing the exhaust gas through a series of mesh or vane layers, which causes the moisture and particulate matter to coalesce into larger droplets that are then separated from the gas stream.
Mist eliminators used in the chemical and biochemical industry are typically made from materials that can withstand the harsh and corrosive conditions of the process, such as stainless steel, polypropylene, or PTFE. They are used in a variety of chemical processes, including acid gas removal, acid mist elimination, solvent recovery, and other applications. In addition to chemical plants, mist eliminators are also used in other industries, such as pulp and paper, power generation, and oil and gas refining, to improve air quality and reduce pollution. Overall, mist eliminators play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and sustainability of different industrial processes.
