Custom Mist Eliminators

[cdrras]

I currently am designing a gas-liquid separator and I'm trying to find a manufacturer that specializes in custom mist eliminators. Because my separator is very size constrained due to the application it will be used for, the dimensions for the separator are roughly 3.25" ID diameter and roughly 16.25" in length (plus outlets and what not). Does anybody know of a manufacturer/suppliers that specializes in very small mist eliminators that I might be able to use or any custom-made mist eliminator manufacturers that could manufacture one to a certain size????

You could try talking to Knitmesh (or one of their agents, depending upon your location) they have lots of experience with mist eliminators and have made custom in the past, although not sure about the dimensions you are looking at.

TLV make mist eliminators. Used to knock out steam droplets from vent lines. I have see these work and there is no visible plume. It's something you could look at.

Thanks. I'll look into these. The dimensions I am looking for are 3.25" in diameter and about 4.00" in depth. Looking for possibly aluminum or stainless steel due to small possible corrosion.

A mesh pad style may work for you, depending on the amount of moisture you are trying to remove, although I have always found them to be larger than is convenient.

Good luck,

Yeah, I thought I said I was looking for a mesh pad style in my original post, but I guess that was something that just slipped my mind. Sorry about that. Thanks for the links. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of places. Hopefully they can do what I am hoping.

Thanks. I contacted a company in PA and they have sent me a mist eliminator for me to test for my application. Since it's a fairly new product they'd like to collect some data on it. I'll like to collect some data as well regarding the water particle size that coalesces on the pad to help determine efficiency and if it meets what I am looking for. As I don't have access to a particle analyzer to determine particle size and distribution, I'm trying to find a way to determine these without such equipment. Anybody have any suggestions?
