No matter what you call it, all of these names are synonymous terms for the same thing— Knitted Wire Mesh that eliminates liquid entrainment from gas streams. CWI Tech-Mesh™ is knitted on state-of-the-art equipment under strict quality control processes to provide a winding path and a large surface area for the droplets entrained in the gas stream, maximizing gas/liquid separation efficiency and minimizing pressure drop. This low-cost method helps prevent damage and product loss within the facility, cutting operation expenses down more than you may forecast. CWI Tech-Mesh™ Demister Pads are used in many industries including food, agriculture, building and construction, aerospace, mining, and especially the oil and gas industry for their refinery tower internals. Central Wire manufactures Mist Eliminator coalesces in a wide range of wire diameters, alloys, mesh densities, and product geometries under precise production and processing equipment capabilities. We produce the core products for our demister pads in-house that comprise the final product including wire, support rods, and welding wire.

Read on to learn more about the benefits, functions, and applications.

What's so good about this low-cost method?

Tech-Mesh can be easily tailor-made to suit most vessel dimensions. CWI has them available in a wide range of alloys, densities, and geometries, making custom demister pad sizing a smooth process. It's also a flexible solution for most mist elimination applications since the lightweight sections are very easy to install, have no moving parts, and are easy to maintain. With the corrosion resistance and high durability of demister pads, they have a long service life and can be one of the most cost-effective liquid separator solutions for your operation.

How do they work?
 
As its many names imply, mist eliminators remove moisture from gas streams. They are typically fitted just below tank outlets and can be installed either vertically or horizontally, depending on the configuration of the unit. Vapor carries mist as it rises, and while gas is free to pass through knitted mesh unobstructed, individual mist droplets become trapped. The droplets then grow in size as moisture accumulates, eventually causing the heaviest ones to fall back into the pool of liquid below. This coalescing process prevents even small drops of liquid from rising to the top of the tank.
