MIST ELIMINATORS:
FIBERWIND CANDLE FILTERS
FIBERWIND™ type mist eliminators are specifically made to remove mainly submicron liquid or soluble solid particles from air or gas streams.
Our fiber bed filters are frequently used in sulphuric acid applications in order to remove and collect sulphuric acid mist.
The mist eliminators in the pictures have external cages made of Polypropylene and FRP/GRP, which are suitable in case of low concentration of acid environment.
Candle demisters in Stainless steel are also available for sulphuric acid plants: for example when installed in the SO3 scrubber section.
AWS is continuous search of the best optimization of mist eliminator designs in order to reach the highest efficiencies, lowest pressure drop and longest life span, always keeping the cost of the product in line with market request.
MIST ELIMINATORS:
WIREMAT MESHPAD FILTERS
Meshpad mist eliminators collect essentially 100% of all liquid particles from 2 to 5 microns in diameter, depending on the design parameters.
Meshpads are usually suggested to catch sulphuric acid mist droplets.
The black and yellow demister in the photo is a Structured meshpad. This type of demister is an inertial separator: liquid droplets are removed due to their inertial momentum. Particles which are too small (less than 2-3 microns in diameter) are therefore not to be considered as a good candidate for this type of filter.
