EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR is fabricated in
pad form from symmetrical interlocking loops of
knitted metal wire or plastic monofilaments. The
pad with a high free volume and large impingement
area, can be installed in any existing or new process
vessel to provide separation efficiencies up to
99% for particles down to five microns at pressure
drops in the vicinity of 25 mm WG. The EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR is a static, in-line
device and in a majority of the cases it can be
installed in the evaporator, scrubber, pressure
vessel etc., without a special housing. There is
practically no maintenance required except for cleaning
when used in fouling services.
HOW
EVERMESH MIST ELIMINATOR
When vapour carrying entrained
liquid droplets or mist passes through the EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR, the vapour
passes freely through the layered mesh structure
of the EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR but the liquid
droplets, having greater inertia, contact the large
wire surface exposed and are briefly held there.
As more droplets collect, they coalesce and grow
in size and become large enough to drain back into
the system. The overhead product is pure vapour
containing practically no liquid.

DESIGN
AND ENGINEERING DATA
The separating action of a separator
largely depends upon the contact surface area necessary
for impingement which must be evenly distributed.
Generally speaking, a higher free volume leads to
a lower pressure drop. In critical cases, it may
be necessary to decide whether pressure drop or
efficiency should be sacrificed. However, the EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR allows the
greatest possible efficiency at the lowest possible
pressure drop.
EFFICIENCY
Normally EVERMESH
MIST ELIMINATOR will remove droplets
down to 5 microns with an efficiency upto 99%. This
efficiency will vary depending upon the particle
size distribution and other operating conditions.
Furnished in a wide variety of mesh styles, the
EVERMESH MIST ELIMINATOR
offers collection efficiency and pressure drop combinations
that can be suited exactly to specific process requirements.
Special design are now available with higher efficiencies
for specific applications.

PRESSURE
DROP
Pressure Drop is also a function of separator specifications
and is less than 25 mm WG for a majority of applications.
In vacuum service, high efficiency is
routinely achieved with pressure drop of the order
of 5 mm WG.

DESIGN VELOCITY
The maximum allowable vapour velocity. ‘U’,
for most systems is calculated according to the
equation given below.
It is suggested that the design
velocity should be 60-75% of ‘U’ to
allow for surges and upset conditions. However,
excellent performance is obtained in most systems
for velocities 30 - 110% of the maximum allowable
vapour velocity. For high pressure & vacuum
services the constant K needs a specific design.
