Material
The material used in vessel demisters is typically constructed of wire mesh, polymers, metal, elements. Commonly used materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, stainless steel, zinc-plated steel, brass, and PVC. These materials can be selected based on their chemical, temperature, and corrosion resistance capabilities.
Sizes and Shapes
Vessel demister pads come in a wide range of sizes and configurations, including round pads, wedge wire pads, and various other shapes. The size and shape of a vessel demister usually depend on the size and shape of the equipment it will be installed in. Generally, the demisters are designed to fit within the vessel or tower that they are intended for. The length and width of a vessel demister depend on the size and configuration of the job.
Application
Vessel demisters are used to ensure the efficient removal of liquid droplets from gas streams. Also, they reduce the risk of explosions and fires due to flammable liquid buildup, control dust and fines in the air stream, and prevent corrosion of downstream equipment.
