Demister pads, also known as mist eliminators or demisting pads, are crucial components within various industrial processes where the removal of liquid droplets or mist from gas streams is essential. These finely engineered devices are typically constructed from materials like wire mesh, fiberglass, or metal, featuring a complex labyrinth of passages that allow gas to pass through while efficiently capturing and coalescing liquid particles. Demister pads find application in diverse industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and power generation, where they play a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency, protecting downstream equipment, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
The precise design and selection of demister pads are paramount in achieving optimal separation performance, making them a cornerstone technology in numerous critical processes.
