Double Pocket Mist Eliminator
The Double Pocket cane mist eliminator is used for special treatment applications that require high efficiency separation or foam breakdown. VME's proprietary design incorporates wide plate spacing and a specially formed double pocket. Using the same principle as our Single Pocket design for high liquid loading, the collection pockets are strategically placed to remove the larger liquid droplets thereby increasing the separation efficiency of smaller droplets. The Double Pocket mist extractor is also highly efficient in breaking form.
Vane or impingement type mist eliminators have been effectively utilized in many different industries. In fact, they can be oriented for used in either vertical flow or horizontal flow service depending on the specific application. In vertical flow service, the coalesced and separated liquid migrates counter-current to the gas flow. Then installed for horizontal flow, the vane mist eliminator allows the liquid to settle perpendicular to the bulk gas flow thereby increasing separation efficiency. Since the primary mechanism for droplet removal is by impingement, design velocity and cane configuration is critical to the performance of the unit. A design that is too conservative may not provide enough turbulence to remove smaller droplets while undersizing may cause separated liquid droplets to become re-entrained in the gas. Therefore, mist eliminators should be sized and designed by an experienced engineer. When properly designed, vane-type mist eliminators can remove droplet sized as low as five microns (5 μm) in certain applications.
