Demister pads are commonly used in chemical scrubber towers as essential components for efficient gas-liquid separation. Chemical scrubber towers are utilized to remove pollutants, hazardous gases, or contaminants from industrial exhaust streams by scrubbing them with a liquid, typically an absorbent solution or solvent.
Demister pads for chemical scrubber towers are typically constructed from materials that are compatible with the process conditions, including chemical resistance to the scrubbing liquid and the gas being treated. Stainless steel, polypropylene, or other corrosion-resistant materials are commonly used. The choice of demister pad type, such as wire mesh or vane pack, depends on factors such as gas velocity, droplet size, pressure drop limitations, and process requirements.
Proper design, installation, and maintenance of demister pads in chemical scrubber towers are crucial for their effective operation.
