Mist elimination from a gas flow
2025.1.20
In manufacturing processes, treatment of raw materials is indispensable to improve the productivity and quality of products.
Raw materials include liquids and gases, etc., and the processes of treatment are also varied depending on the purpose, such as temperature and humidity control, separation or refining of ingredients, and others, and we provide solutions for the issues related to such treatment.
Among such processes, we hereby present the "Mist elimination from a gas flow" and its specific solutions.
What is mist elimination ?
It denotes removal of liquid droplets contained in a gas stream. For example, natural gases and fuel gases utilized for electric power supply and town gases contain liquid droplets such as water droplets and oil droplets. Liquid droplets are removed because they lead to failure or irregularity of equipment such as turbines, burners, and compressors through which gases pass.
Specific Solutions
Our products for mist elimination that are mainly proposed and utilized are presented below according to the type.
1) Cyclone type
Moisture in a gas flow is eliminated by the action of centrifugal force and gravity.
《Fuji Recycling Separator》
Without any moving part such as a rotor, the unit is maintenance-free, having a robust structure both inside and outside.
2) Demister type
The demister captures mist in a gas flow by means of its wire mesh inside. It is featured by lightweight, low cost, low pressure loss, high capturing performance, etc., and is mainly used in ascending flows. It demonstrates a high capturing capacity even for very fine mist. (See figure below)
3) Cartridge type
The cartridge type separates and captures mist and gas by means of surface tension when mist in air passes through several layers of glass fibers inside the cartridge. Since a separator with a large area can be put in a compact housing, the type enables high-performance separation to be performed, and an inexpensive pricing can also be achieved.
《Fuji Oil Mist Separator》
It demonstrates high performance in coagulation and separation as well as recovery of oil mist in a vacuum pump and silencing.
It offers advantages in terms of economy, equipment area, simplicity of maintenance, etc. as well.
We will contribute to the manufacturing process solutions, through our proposals for products and solutions, by taking full advantage of our expertise on filtration technologies and proven results that have been acquired over many years.
