Kimre's product line includes custom-engineered mist eliminators, used in controlling emissions and optimizing air quality.

Technical Overview of Mist Eliminators and Key Types for Wet Scrubbers

Definition of a Mist Eliminator

A mist eliminator is engineered to remove liquid droplets from gas streams in industrial processes. Removal of these droplets is necessary to prevent the release of droplets into the air, thereby minimizing environmental impact. Mist eliminators are on one component, but a very important one air cleaning systems, particularly in conjunction with wet scrubbers that utilize liquid absorption to capture and neutralize pollutants.

Types of Mist Eliminators for Wet Scrubbers

The primary types include:
  • Mesh Mist Eliminators: These consist of several layers of mesh arrangements. The outer mesh disperses entrained droplets, while the inner mesh captures them, preventing their re-entrainment into the gas stream.
  • Fiber Bed Mist Eliminators: These use a dense fiber matrix to capture droplets as the gas stream passes through. The fiber bed ensures effective droplet coalescence and removal.
    Vane Mist Eliminators: These devices feature angled vanes that induce turbulence in the gas flow. This turbulence facilitates the coalescence of droplets, which are then collected on the vane surfaces.

Key Mist Eliminators offered by Kimre

  • Fiber Bed Filter Mist Eliminators: Engineered to capture sub-micron droplets and soluble particulate matter, these filters are designed for high-efficiency particulate removal in gas streams.
  • B-GON® Mist Eliminators: Designed to capture droplets ranging from 2 to 5 microns, these eliminators are suitable for a range of industrial applications.
  • DRIFTOR® Drift Eliminators: Specifically engineered for cooling towers, these eliminators are optimized to reduce water loss by capturing liquid droplets from exhaust air streams.
  • LIQUI-NOMIX® Liquid Coalescers: These coalescers are designed to refine liquid streams, achieving water quality levels below 2 ppm through the aggregation and removal of contaminant liquids.
  • KON-TANE® Scrubber and Tower Packing: This packing is used to enhance mass transfer efficiency in gas cleaning applications, improving the performance of scrubbers and towers.
