Wire mesh droplet separator is an highly effective tool used in a variety of industries, including petroleum refining, petrochemical, gas chemistry, synthetic chemistry, salt and sugar manufacturing and other chemical industries. It is designed to separate water droplets from liquids or gases of varying temperatures by using a grid system of fine wire mesh. When this mesh is placed in the path of a liquid or gas flow, the droplets become trapped and only the liquid or gas passes through.

For example, in the petroleum refining industry, it is used to separate water from hydrocarbon liquids like fuels and crude oil. This separation allows for greater efficiency in refining processes as unnecessary water can be removed. In the petrochemical industry, the separator facilitates the process of separating different elements contained in raw materials. It can also be used to remove any water that forms in the early stages of chemical reactions.

In addition, the wire mesh droplet separator can also be used in gas chemistry and salt and sugar manufacturing. In these industries, the separator helps to remove water from a chemical solution, as well as organic compounds and other suspended particles, thereby improving chemical purity. Furthermore, it can be used in synthetic chemical processing to improve gas and liquid separation and enhance the yield during the extraction process.

In summary, the wire mesh droplet separator is an invaluable tool for various industries that use liquids and gases in their processes. It is specifically designed to separate water droplets from different flowing liquids and gases, making it an effective and efficient tool which is used to improve quality control.

Mesh drop separators can make complete solutions (case with droplet / wire mesh) with specially designed supports and/or cover grids supplied to support the mesh pads. The droplet separator can be a custom designed enclosure constructed for the corresponding process data designed. This design can make the free inflow area reaching approximately 90 %.

Wire mesh can be used as a droplet removing elements in gas streams, as oil mist separators, air filters, insulation mats or coalescence separator for phase separation of immiscible liquids.

The wire mesh droplet eliminators (demisters) are made of fine wires with different wire diameters generally ranging between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm.

Drop / droplet separators / demisters can be used for dehumidification, i.e., for the separation of the liquid phase from a gas stream. The drop separator should catch gas or vapor flow drops.

It is designed to clean exhaust air streams to erosion, sediment and product contamination.

Major parameters for the design of a drop separator:

Parameters needing to be considered when design:
Flow rate in m³/h; m³/h; kg/h
Operating pressure in bar
Operating Temperature in C°
Initial flow direction (vertical or horizontal)
Droplet size in microns

When installing the wire mesh separators, the eliminator pad must fit tightly to the wall of the column to prevent any gas leaking through.
