Mesh Pads
Reliable droplet separation for industrial gas treatment
Mesh pads are widely used for the efficient removal of liquid droplets from gas streams, helping protect downstream equipment, improve process efficiency, and reduce liquid carry-over.
Available in a wide range of materials, configurations, and performance grades, our mesh pads are designed for demanding industrial environments.
WHAT IS A MESH PAD?
Efficient gas-liquid separation technology
A mesh pad, also known as a wire mesh demister, is installed inside vessels, scrubbers, absorbers, and process columns to remove entrained liquid droplets from gas streams.
As gas passes through the mesh structure, droplets collide with the filaments, coalesce into larger droplets, and drain away under gravity.
Commonly used for:
APPLICATIONS
Designed for industrial separation processes
Wet Scrubbers
Prevent liquid carry-over, emissions control and improve overall treatment efficiency.
Absorption & stripping columns
Improve gas-liquid separation performance.
Sulfuric acid plants
Protect downstream equipment from entrained acid droplets.
Chemical Manufacturing
Improve process reliability, emissions control and equipment protection.
Fertilizer production
Liquid separation in process towers, emissions control and treatment systems.
HOW MESH PADS WORK
A Proven separation process
Gas entry
Contaminated gas enters the vessel containing the mesh pad.
Droplet impaction
Liquid droplets collide with the mesh filaments.
Coalescence
Small droplets combine to form larger droplets.
Drainage
Coalesced droplets drain through the mesh structure.
Separation
The liquid phase is removed from the gas stream.
Clean gas exit
Treated gas leaves the vessel with significantly reduced droplet content.
PERFORMANCE
