In primary steelmaking, one of the primary applications of demisters is in the removal of moisture from high-temperature exhaust gases produced in the blast furnace. The blast furnace produces a large volume of exhaust gas containing water vapor, particulates, and other impurities.
The demisters are typically installed in the gas cleaning system to remove the moisture and prevent it from causing corrosion and fouling of downstream equipment. The demisters also help to improve the efficiency of the gas cleaning system by reducing the amount of moisture that needs to be removed, which can lead to significant energy savings. Demisters used in the blast furnace gas cleaning system are typically made from high-temperature resistant materials such as stainless steel or ceramic and are designed to withstand the harsh and corrosive conditions of the process. Overall, demisters play a crucial role in maintaining the safe and efficient operation of blast furnaces in the steel industry.
