DEMISTER
Introduction
Mist in Gas has bad impact in various aspects, including environmental pollution, corrosion, and loss of raw materials. mist that are mechanically generated from scrubber, cooling tower and vaporizing pipes, generally has relatively large mist with tens to hundreds of microns in diameter. Micro mist is generated by condensations or chemical reaction of gas.
We have been producing and supplying Mesh type of Demister ( DSM-Type ) and have completed localizing Baffled Mist Eliminator ( DSB-Type ) in our production line.
Overview
- Demister is called as Mist Eliminator, Wire Mesh Separator and Wire mesh blanket.
- It is a type of Filter that separates and removes mist or dust from fluid and a chemical reaction accelerator.
- Demister can be semi-permanent. It had made of various materials according to condition of usage and its structure is very simple for convenient installation and repair.
Operation Principle of Demister
For example, gas from liquid (L) converts to vapors (V) in distillers. When vapors rise, the surface of liquid breaks to generate micro particles of liquid and deliver them with gas through demister. In this process, micro particles increas in volume due to inertial collision principle on the surface of pad. Particles that contain impurities free fall due to the weight of impurities. Gas come through demister or contain liquid particles release as pure gas to the top of demister.

Installment and Grid
DEMISTER in tower must be fixed and supported at level and Support Grid is commonly used for fixing bottom side or the upper and lower sides, which was made by welding FB 25x3t. RB6 (the same material with DEMISTER PAD) at regular intervals (APP 150mm). In addition wire of diameter 1 or 1.6 is used for fixing GRID and PAD and how to fix them as follows.

SUS MESH DEMISTER / P.P MESH DEMISTER
DEMISTER collect essentially 100% of all liquid particles 2 to 5 microns in diameter, depending on design parameters. Available in virtually any size of shape, in a broad range of metals or plastics, individual styles of DEMISTER can be supplied to meet specific customer needs.
