Selecting the right mist eliminator depends on your specific process requirements. Here are the three most common options:
1. Wire Mesh Mist Eliminator
Wire mesh mist eliminators are widely used due to their high separation efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Made of compressed layers of metal wire or thermoplastic, supported by grids, these eliminators are highly versatile and effective in various operating conditions.
Key advantages include:
The mechanism relies on processes like direct interception, inertial impaction, and Brownian diffusion to coalesce and remove droplets. Variables such as mesh thickness, wire diameter, and surface tension between liquid and fiber affect performance.
Central Wire Industries manufactures high-performance knitted wire mesh mist eliminators tailored to your system specifications.
2. Vane Mist Eliminator
Vane mist eliminators, also known as baffle or chevron-type eliminators, are ideal for removing larger droplets. They use rows of parallel plates arranged in zigzag patterns to separate droplets from the gas stream through inertial impaction.
This design ensures:
For enhanced performance, vane mist eliminators can be paired with wire mesh pre-filters to capture smaller droplets before they coalesce into larger ones.

3. Fiber Bed Mist Eliminator
Fiber bed mist eliminators are cylindrical filters designed to capture sub-micron droplets in horizontal gas streams. Their design includes an inner and outer screen, with plates or flanges for draining and mounting.
These eliminators excel in:
Like wire mesh eliminators, they utilize Brownian diffusion to capture droplets, making them ideal for industrial processes involving finer particulates.
