How to Select the Right Mist Eliminator
Follow this simple decision guide to determine which mist eliminator technology is right for your application. For complex or multi-stage requirements, contact ECOGRACE for a detailed engineering recommendation.
Step 1: Identify Droplet Size
Droplets >10 µm → Wire Mesh Demister Pad
Droplets 5–20 µm + high velocity → Vane Pack
Aerosol <3 µm (acid mist, fume) → Candle / Fiber Bed
Step 2: Check Gas Velocity
Low velocity (<5 m/s) → Wire Mesh Demister ideal
High velocity (5–10 m/s) → Vane Pack required
Very low velocity (0.05–0.25 m/s) → Candle element design velocity
Step 3: Define Chemical Environment
Non-corrosive / mild → SS 304/316L wire mesh or vane
Acid (H₂SO₄, HCl, HNO₃) → PP/PTFE mesh or Candle
Severe acid / HF / oleum → PTFE Candle fiber bed
Step 4: Set Emission Target
General entrainment control → Wire Mesh or Vane sufficient
<50 mg/Nm³ → High-efficiency wire mesh or vane
<5 mg/Nm³ (regulatory compliance) → Candle Fiber Bed required

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mist eliminator and why do I need one?
A mist eliminator (also called demister or entrainment separator) is a device installed in process vessels, towers, and ducts to remove liquid droplets and aerosols from gas streams. Mist eliminators prevent product loss, protect downstream equipment (compressors, catalysts, heat exchangers), ensure environmental compliance, and improve product purity. Without effective mist elimination, entrained liquid can cause corrosion, fouling, catalyst poisoning, and regulatory violations.
Which type of mist eliminator should I choose?
For general liquid droplet removal at moderate gas velocities, a wire mesh demister pad provides the best cost-performance balance. For high gas velocity or high liquid loading applications, a vane type mist eliminator is required to prevent flooding. For sub-micron acid mist, chemical aerosol, or fine oil fog where emission limits are stringent (<5 mg/Nm³), a candle mist eliminator (fiber bed) is the only effective technology. Many installations use a combination — e.g., wire mesh for primary separation followed by candle elements for sub-micron polishing.
Can you supply replacement elements for existing OEM mist eliminator vessels?
Yes. ECOGRACE manufactures drop-in replacement mist eliminator elements (wire mesh pads, vane packs, and candle filter elements) compatible with all major OEM vessel designs. Send us your existing element dimensions, drawings, or part numbers for exact-fit replacements at factory-direct pricing.
What information do you need to provide a quotation?
For accurate sizing and quotation, please provide: (1) gas flow rate (Nm³/h or ACFM), (2) gas composition and liquid type, (3) operating temperature and pressure, (4) inlet mist/droplet loading (mg/Nm³), (5) target outlet emission or purity requirement, (6) vessel diameter or available space, and (7) any existing drawings or part numbers for replacement orders. Our engineers will recommend the optimal solution within 24 hours.
