Mist Eliminators for Industrial Use
What is a Mist Eliminator?
Mist Eliminators (aka Coalescing Filters) capture contaminants in liquid droplets emanating from a gas stream, including aerosol droplets, oil and glycol mists and fogs, and chemical mists from sulfuric acid, industrial degreasers, hydrocarbons, and aromatic or chlorinated VOCs. These droplets are virtually universal in commercial heating, cooling and lubrication processes, as well as many manufacturing operations.
Mists degrade air quality, lessen or complicate the service life of equipment, and cause safety issues if not addressed.
Tri-Mer’s Mist Eliminator is a practical, cost-effective solution to industrial mists with a strong track record.
Design and Performance Features of the Tri-Mer Mist Eliminator
- Low pressure design minimizes energy use.
- Unique, long-lasting filter cartridges which are easily removed, cleaned and restored to service.
- Gauges at the first and second stages monitor static pressures across the filter pads. Automatic wash-down cycle can then be activated; wash-down can also be initiated manually.
- Out-performs centrifugal collectors, indexing fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators.
- All-steel construction; PVC blower and ducting available.
- Easy to install. Skid-mounted package includes duct connections, controls interfacing, fan, recirculation, pump, piping.
- A documented track record for uptime performance, and requires very little maintenance. When maintenance is needed, operation can continue without interruption.
- Accommodates multiple mist sources.
Condensables are contaminants from the vapor phase of a process. They are present (or are cooled) to their dew point and condense, making impingement possible.
Dew point is the temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water when the air is cooled at constant pressure and humidity.
Applications for Mist Eliminators
Steel Industry
- Oil Mist
- Extruding
- Forging
- Transportation within the manufacturing process
- Cutting, grinding
- Heat treating
- Coolant
- Water or a glycol formula is used throughout steelmaking.
- Chemical
- Surface Preparation
- Galvanizing, other rust-preventative treatments
Food Industry
- Chemicals
- Water
- Mist eliminators capture moisture from industrial refrigeration systems and food-grade oil kettles to ensure product quality and system hygiene.
- Oil Mist
- Production-scale deep fryers
- Steaming processes release oils that need to be captured and vented to meet OSHA and EPA Regulations.
Pharmaceutical Industry
- Filtration for Cleanrooms and production areas for sterile medications
- Sterile Compressed Air systems for tablet coating or capsule filling
Chemical Processing Industry
- Process Gas Filtration, such as removal of oil mists and water droplets from chemical reactor gases.
- Liquid-Liquid Separation, including separating immiscible liquids such as water from solvents.
Power Generation Industry
- Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration
- Fuel Filtration for Generators: Mist eliminators remove water and contaminants from fuel used in power generators
Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing
- Cleanroom Air Purification
- Compressed Air
Water Treatment
- Oil-Water Separation: Mist eliminators are a key component of ECS systems that remove oil droplets from industrial wastewater prior to discharge.
- Water Purification: Mist eliminators are integrated with ECS-like pretreatment systems to remove contaminants from water used in industrial processes.
