Mist Eliminators

SPECIALISTS IN SEPARATION OF
LIQUID ENTRAINMENT

Since its formation in 1957, KnitMesh has established a global reputation for the design, manufacture and supply of equipment which separates liquid entrainment from process gas streams and controls pollution.

A specialist technical team uses the experience gained from hundreds of successful installations in a broad spectrum of applications to ensure that the best possible product is recommended for each individual duty.

ISO9001 accreditation ensures every job is subjected to a strict quality regime which covers everything from technical design, through contract review and production, to final inspection.
 

TYPICAL PROCESS APPLICATIONS FOR MIST ELIMINATORS
 
In many process operations, gases and liquids contact each other to form a mist and if the gas is travelling too fast to allow the liquid droplets to settle out under gravity, they become suspended (or entrained) in the gas or vapour. In most cases, the entrainment must be removed to purify the gas and prevent potential process or environmental contamination.

Installation of KnitMesh mist eliminators is an effective solution to liquid entrainment problems in many process applications throughout industry.
