Typical Applications for Mist Eliminators
In many industrial processes, gases and liquids come into contact and create a mist. When the gas moves too quickly, the liquid droplets cannot settle due to gravity and end up suspended in the gas or vapour. It is crucial to remove this entrainment to purify the gas and prevent contamination of the process or the environment.
Oil and Gas Production
In the oil and gas industry, Mist Eliminators are primarily used to remove liquid droplets in the form of mist or aerosols from gas streams. These liquid droplets can be present in the form of oil, water, or other chemicals, and their removal is crucial to ensure the efficiency and safety of downstream processes.
- Three phase separators
- Inlet scrubbers
- Compressor systems
- Cold separators
- Glycol dehydration
- Amine absorption columns
Chemical Industry
Chemical processes often involve hazardous substances and by-products, and when these substances are in the form of a mist, they can pose significant health risks if inhaled or released into the environment. Mist Eliminators help to prevent the dispersion of these harmful substances by capturing and removing the mist particles.
- Distillation
- Gas absorption and stripping
- Condensation
- Gas compression
- Dehumidification and drying
- Spray removal and desalination
- Seawater desalination plan
Petrochemicals and Petroleum Refineries
Mist Eliminators are essential in petrochemical plants and petroleum refineries to separate liquid droplets from gas streams, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and maintaining operational efficiency.
- Olefin and methanol production
- Oxo alcohols and derivatives
- Condensation from liquefied petroleum gas
- Crude oil distillation
- Catalytic cracking
Power Generation
The presence of liquid droplets in gas streams can lead to corrosion of equipment, fouling of heat exchangers, and erosion of turbine components. Mist Eliminators are employed to capture and remove these liquid contaminants before they can cause damage or decrease the efficiency of power generation systems.
- Steam drums
- Seawater desalination plant
- Flue gas desulphurisation
- Compressor systems
Green Hydrogen
During electrolysis, gas streams can contain small liquid particles that need to be removed to ensure the purity and safety of the hydrogen product. Mist Eliminators are employed to capture and separate these liquid droplets, preventing contamination and potential damage to downstream equipment.
- Water electrolysis
- Pipeline systems
- Downstream components
- Fuel cells
Inorganic Chemicals Industry
In the production of inorganic chemicals, Mist Eliminators are deployed to effectively remove liquid droplets or mists from process gas streams. These droplets can arise from various sources such as chemical reactions, cooling, condensation, or interfacial contact.
- SO3 absorption and air drying
- NO2 absorption and nitric acid concentration
- HCl and chlorine absorption
- Air discharges
- Urea from gas discharges
