Capacity The capacity of a strainer is related to the size of the screen. The larger the capacity provided, the greater the time between cleaning the screen. One measure of capacity is…
Conical Strainer Design Requirements
If a conical strainer cannot withstand high temperatures or differential pressures, it could come apart and cause damage to equipment. The expected pressure drop across the strainer should not cause…
Conical Strainer Installation
Installation of a conical strainer can be done in one of two different ways, cone facing upstream or cone facing downstream. When cone is downstream, debris collects inside of the…
Features of mist eliminators
The formation of mists in gas streams often results in process inefficiencies and/or product loss in equipment such as knockout drums, distillation columns, evaporators, and environmental scrubbers. Mists can also…
Why use mist eliminators
Knockout Drums Designing knockout drums to include mist eliminators will reduce capital equipment costs and improve efficiency. Knockout drums relying solely on gravity settling remove only drops larger than 100…
Mesh Demister Pads for Petroleum Refining
Petroleum refining begins with the distillation, or fractionation, of crude oils into separate hydrocarbon groups. The resultant products are directly related to the characteristics of the crude oil being processed.…
Mesh Demister Pads for Sulphuric Acid Plant
Well-engineered mesh demister pads are critical to the cost-effective operation of every sulfuric acid plant. Filters mesh pads are designed and manufactured to meet sulfuric acid drying tower (DT) mist elimination requirements.…
Mesh Demister Pads for Desalination Plant
Desalination plants remove salt and other minerals from saline waters to produce fresh water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. The mesh demister pads in the desalination plant evaporators is very…
How a Demister Works
1. A vapor stream carrying entrained liquid droplets passes through a DEMISTER pad. The vapor moves freely through the knitted mesh. 2. The inertia of the droplets causes them to…
Fiber Bed Mist Eliminator
The fibre bed mist eliminators also known as candle filters and fiber bed filters, they are made of a variety of fibre diameters and lengths which are packed between two concentric cylindrical screens…
