Inertial Impaction Technology
Vane Mist Eliminators utilize precisely spaced corrugated plates to force directional changes in gas streams, leveraging inertial forces to capture 99% of liquid droplets ≥5μm. Engineered for high liquid loads and fouling resistance, these low-∆P (<0.25 kPa) systems excel in refinery sour water strippers, LNG knockout drums, and chemical evaporators where traditional mesh would fail.

Performance Advantages
- Fouling Immunity: Wide flow channels resist plugging by salts/sludges
- High-Load Handling: Manages sudden liquid surges (e.g., refinery upsets)
- Acid Gas Resilience: FRP/nickel options for H₂S/CO₂ environments
- Zero Maintenance: No moving parts or mesh replacement required
- Energy Efficiency: 30% lower ∆P vs. mesh demisters at equal capacity
