The HRT Radial Spin Separator Mist Eliminator is supplied complete with housing and all necessary accessories (spray, hatch, pre-separator, etc.), coupled with system fan. It can also be supplied with Radial Spin Separator only or as part of a stack or pipe system.
Principle of Operation:
Specially design static spin vanes in the inlet throat induce a high velocity spin which separates the droplets from the gas by centrifugal force. The droplets collect in the separation chamber and drain from the separator body.

The LTV-1500 is a vane-type (Chevron) mist eliminator design specifically for vertical flow. The use of drain bars in the vane geometry permits high than normal velocity and thus the capture of smaller droplets. The design combines high liquid capture capacity and low pressure drop.

Efficient separation of droplets 35 microns or larger
Mist eliminator panels easy to install

Performance data shown in curves is f (face velocity) at standard gas density (1.2 kg / cubic metre)
Actual performance is based on actual process data

Applications:
Vertical flow gas scrubbers, spray towers, spray chambers, acid cooling towers, evaporators, evaporative crystallizers
Flue gas desulphirzation scrubbers
We supply:
Mist eliminator modules assembled to fit customer housings, either new or existing installations
Complete mist eliminator units with housing and all necessary accessories
Principle of Operation:
Specially designed vane geometry causes the gas flow to make sudden changes in direction. The inertial forces cause the entrained droplets to be collected on the vane surface Drain bars in the vane surface enable the droplets to drain by gravity back into the process without reentering.
The distinction from other types of mist eliminators in based on the method of liquid drainage. Available as fine mist eliminators for the removal of small droplets, and as coarse mist eliminators for the removal of plugging materials. Coarse mist eliminators are used as a pre-clean stage to a fine mist eliminator.
The LTH-2100 is a vane-type (Chevron) mist eliminator design specifically for horizontal flow. It has a high separation efficiency for droplet sizes down to a diameter of 10 microns. The vanes are assembled in frames which provide the design vane spacing, gas seals and drain arrangement. Standard design have either one or two vane banks in series.
Advantages:
Most efficient of vane-type separators for capture of small droplets; with agglomerator down to 3 microns
Operates at high velocity
Retrofits easily into existing housings and ductwork
Special designs available for fouling applications
Material of Construction:
Plastics: PVS, Polypropylene

Operating Range:
Face velocity: 2.5 to 10 m/s depending on type
Limit drop size: 10+ microns
Efficiency: 99.9% at limit drop size
Performance data shown in curves is f (face velocity) at standard gas density (1.2 kg / cubic metre)
Actual performance is based on actual process data
(Conversion: 1 m/s ~ 200 ft/min; 1 mbar ~ 0.4" WG)
Applications:
Flue gas desulphurization scrubbers, HVAC systems, air washers, high efficiency scrubbers, spray system exhausts, air and gas coolers, spray drying towers, process-gas cleaning, evaporators, all applications where maximum elimination efficiency is required using a vane-type droplet separator
We supply:
Eliminator modules assembled for installation in a new or existing housings, towers, vessels; for air houses, air intakes, paint spray systems
Complete mist eliminator units with flanged housing and all necessary accessories
Code and non-code housings
Principle of Operation:
The gas passes between parallel sinusoidal vanes fitted with strategically placed hooks. Droplets are separated from the gas stream by inertial forces in 2 steps. Coarse droplets are captured at the first hook; the smaller droplets are captures by the second hook after acceleration through the venturi throat created by the first hook. The collected liquid drains down the hooks into the drain pan.
The distinction from other types of mist eliminators in based on the method of liquid drainage. Available as a pure vane separator as well as an agglomerator-enhanced design. The LTH-2100 series is the most efficient vane-type mist eliminator, i.e. they can remove the smallest droplets.
The HMF High-efficiency Ultra Separator is fiber-type mist eliminator. It is used to capture mists and aerosols in the 0.1 to 10 micron diameter range. There are 2 types: Type KM is for mists in the 3 to 10 micron diameter range; type BD is for aerosols in the 0.1 to 3 micron range.
The fiber elements, assembled in supporting frames or grids, are positioned in the gas flow for optimum drainage. Mist droplets contact the fibers and are collected by any of the 3 collection mechanisms indicated in the schematic. The collected droplets drain by gravity back into the process or a receiver.
Advantages:
High separation efficiency
More efficient than scrubbing, for sub-micron aerosols
Compact size when combined with vane-type mist eliminators
Material of Construction:
Fiber elements: stainless steels, glass fiber, plastics (PP, etc.)
Frame / grids: stainless steels, FRP, carbon steel
Housings: stainless steels, FRP, rubber lined steel
Operating Range for Type KM:
Face velocity: 2 to 2.5 m/s
Limit drop size: 3 to 10 microns
Efficiency: 99% to 99.5%, depending on droplet size
(Conversion: 1 m/s ~ 200 ft/min)
Operating Range for Type BD:
Face velocity: 0.15 to 0.23 m/s
Limit drop size: 0.1 to 3 microns
Efficiency: 99% to 99.5%, depending on droplet size
(Conversion: 1 m/s ~ 200 ft/min)
Applications for Type KM:
Evaporators, crystallizers, scrubbers, process gas separators, distillation columns
Applications for Type BD:
Chemical aerosols (e.g., sulfuric acid, fertilizer, chlorine manufacture), VOCs (printing, food processing, textiles, wood veneer, machining)
We supply:
Filter elements: for installation in customer housing
Flanged filter system complete with housing and all required accessories
Principle of Operation:
Mists and aerosols are collected by 3 basic physical mechanisms when they are passed through mist filters.
Aerosol particles makes contact with the surface of the fiber by the above mechanisms and form a liquid film which is either drained within the filter media or at higher velocities captured by vane separators downstream.
The HMF series is a family of filamentous (mesh-type) separators for use primarily in vertical flow applications. They are used mostly in "clean" applications (e.g. distillation) because of their susceptibility to plugging. They have a smaller limit drop size than pure vane separators. They are normal supplied as a series of "pads" for installation in the customer's housing. We use meshes mostly as agglomerators in conjunction with vanes because this is more efficient than using meshes alone.
