Made-to-measure solutions
Lechler mist eliminators
Vital elements in many
processing operations.
Mist eliminators have long
played a vital role in many
process operations and in gas
washing plants. They become
even more important now
through the imposition of ever
more stringent environmental
protection regulations that
necessitate a drastic reduction
in the pollutants carried by the
gases leaving gas-washing
plants.
Such regulations make it nec-
essary to install high-perfor-
mance mist eliminators that,
while generating as little pres-
sure loss as possible, are
capable of arresting even the
finest droplets, often with a
diameter of less than 10 μm.
Such an objective calls for a
separation system with only a
few components that is capable
of dealing with high flow rates.

Lechler mist eliminators.
Made-to-measure for your
application.
Working closely with plant
operators and with scientific
institutes, Lechler has devel-
oped a variety of mist elimin-
ators that exactly meet the
above-mentioned require-
ments and they have proved
to be highly successful in
many fields of industry: in
reducing environmental pollu-
tion from existing plants, in
gas-washing installations, in
the chemical and woodpulp
industries, on offshore rigs, in
air-conditioning and ventilation
systems, in cooling towers and
in evaporative condensers - in
fact, wherever it is necessary
to separate droplets of liquid
reliably and effectively solu-
tion, that is why each mist
eliminator is made to measure.

Vertical or horizontal gas flow

Mist Eliminators with
vertical gas flow
In vane-type mist eliminators
with a vertical gas flow the
baffle vanes are arranged hor-
izontally or at a slight angle to
the horizontal. Since the gas
flows upwards in the opposite
direction, it is necessary for the
baffle vanes to be designed so
that certain regions are
bypassed by the gas flow.
Thus zones are provided in
which the droplets can be col-
lected without interaction with
the gas. These zones also pro-
vide a secure diversion of the
collected liquid from the sur-
face of the vanes. This require-
ment can be met in various
ways and in function of the
profile and shape of the vanes.
back to droplets. To prevent
overstressing of the system by
droplets being picked up and
recirculated by the gas flow,
these droplets must be sub-
stantially larger than those car-
ried into the separator by the
gas.
Mist Eliminators with
horizontal gas flow
Vane-type mist eliminators
for a horizontal gas flow have
a system of vertical baffle
vanes. The provision for sec-
ondary separation is of a dif-
ferent design from that of sep-
arators for vertical gas flow.
When the flow of gas is hori-
zontal the baffles stand verti-
cally and the liquid film that
forms on them flows down-
wards by gravity. The provi-
sion of regions, before or
behind the phase-separation
chambers, that are bypassed
by the gas flow, enable the liq-
uid film to flow off the baffles
without renewed contact with
the gas.
Depending on the separator,
gas-flow rates of up to 10 m/s
can be achieved.
The baffles can be shaped for
particularly satisfactory gas
flow characteristics, therefore
the pressure loss across such
separators is remarkably now.
To suit the needs of each par-
ticular application, a choice
can be made from a finely
staged range of baffle-vane
types with a simple or multiple
gas-flow diversion.

As the liquid has to flow in the The fact that the flow-off is
