AMACS Process Tower Internals products

Mist elimination, or the removal of entrained liquid droplets from a vapor stream, is one of the most commonly encountered processes regardless of unit operation. Mesh mist eliminators are fabricated as multiple layers of knitted wire mesh, wherein the crimped strips are stacked to form a pad with a specific density and thickness. Rigidity is provided by a high open area frame, usually metal, consisting of a grid on each side and rods passing through the mesh

Our patented MistFix® Insertion Mist Eliminator was developed specifically for retrofit applications where the existing vessel had no mist eliminator support and/or no internal access. We found that the oil and gas industry had a large number of vertical gas Knock Out Drums that were designed to run at relatively low gas rates and had no internals to promote mist elimination. Over time, plant capacities were increased feeding more gas into the drum than was originally considered.
