Vane Type Mist Eliminator

Product Overview

Shreewire’s Vane Type Mist Eliminators are designed for high-performance separation of liquid particles from gas streams in process systems. These Chevron-type vane packs consist of a series of specially engineered vanes with defined geometry that cause directional changes in the gas flow. The liquid droplets, having higher inertia than the gas molecules, impact the vane surfaces, coalesce, and drain away due to gravity.

Operating Principle

As the gas stream passes through the vane pack, the liquid droplets are forced to change direction multiple times. Due to their inertia, the droplets contact and wet the vane surfaces, particularly in the corrugations. As they accumulate and grow in size, gravity causes them to fall out of the gas stream, effectively removing them before the gas exits the separator.

Efficiency

• Capable of removing over 99.5% of liquid droplets

• Effective for particles ≥ 20 µm and 8 µm, depending on configuration

• High separation efficiency even at high gas velocities and liquid loads
