Mellachevron™ mist eliminators
PRODUCTS
DESCRIPTION
Separators for high viscosity liquids.
The Mellachevron™ mist eliminators are high-capacity separators constructed as banks of parallel, chevron profiles that cause the gas to change direction several times. The momentum forces entrained liquid droplets to impinge on the vane surfaces where they form a liquid film and drain.
Main benefits
Main applications
- Increases capacity of separator and gas load factors up to 0.45 m/s
Main applications
- For high-viscosity liquids
- For applications with risk of fouling due to solid particles
ADDITIONAL INFO
Technology
The Mellachevron™ range is divided into a number of categories depending on direction of gas flow and the complexity of the vane profile.
Simple Mellachevron™ profiles separate liquid by impingement, coalescence, and drainage on the vane surface with no disengagement of the liquid from the gas stream.
They are particularly suitable for applications with a significant risk of fouling due to solid particles or high-viscosity liquids in the feed, but have relatively low gas handling capacity.
