Demister (vapor)
A typical, large-scale, vapor-liquid separator as used in oil refineries,petrochemical and chemical plants

A demister, is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid
droplets entrained in a vapor stream. Demisters may be a mesh type coalescer, vane pack or other
structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the
vapor stream.
Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby
reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment. Demisters are often used
where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator
equipment costs are high (e.g., high pressure systems) or where space or weight savings are
advantageous.
For example, in the process of brine desalination on marine vessels, brine is flash heated into vapor.
In flashing, vapor carries over droplets of brine which have to be separated before condensing,
otherwise the distillate vapor would be contaminated with salt. This is the role of the demister.
Demisted vapor condenses on tubes in the desalination plant, and product water is collected in
the distillatetray.

Packed tower internals


The proper selection and design of packed tower
distributors, collectors, supports, and other column
internals are essential for optimum packing
performance. At Koch-Glitsch we take special care to
assure that liquid and vapor distribution to the
packed bed is uniform and that the equipment is
selected to best handle any special process
considerations, such as fouling or foaming. We offer
a proven line of distributors and redistributors for a
wide range of flow rates, physical properties, and
turndown requirements. Our internals are available
in a variety of styles and materials, including
ceramic, graphite, and many plastics.

Metal random packing


Random packings have been successfully used as an inexpensive but very effective
means to increase a tower's capacity and/or efficiency. Tower packings have been
used to reduce pressure drop through the column, increase the capacity compared
to trays at the same efficiency, and/or reduce liquid holdup in the column.
