The pad capacity limitation
ROPERLY SELECTED, conventional knitted liquid forms at the bottom of the pad. If velocity
P mesh pads are ideal in most horizontal mist
eliminator applications. However, rising gas
or loading increases further, the liquid zone grows
thicker, eventually filling the entire pad. Fi-
impedes drainage of captured liquid. nally, liquid becomes re-entrained
At moderate gas velocities and as large droplets are carried
liquid loads, a thin layer of over from the pad.

T offers the MisterMesh ® pad. In this
unique design, tightly rolled mesh cylinders
falling through the rolls to draw liquid from drainage

clinging liquid to the higher capacity and efficiency
rolls like water trickling and lower pressure drop.
