The ZP-310 Vane Type Demisting Device offered by Zeta-pdm Ltd is designed primarily for use in vertical separators and scrubbers and consists of high efficiency double “pocket" or "trough" type vanes, where the agglomerated sheet of liquid flows into the vertical vane troughs. These vanes extend over the complete width of the vane pack and are arranged to oppose the vertical gas flow.
The "trough" is shielded to partition the falling liquids (inside the drainage chambers) from the main gas stream flowing (outside) within the vane blades, thus minimising any re-entrainment of the separated fluids.
After running into the liquid collector, the liquids are drained into the bulk liquid within the separator, returning to a level below the lowest liquid level, i.e. below the Low Low Liquid Level (LLLL), via a liquid "downcomer" system.
The ZP-310 Vane Type Demisting Device can be mounted in an up-flow or down-flow configuration, even where strict space restrictions apply.
