Mist eliminator device for a wet scrubber apparatus

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5553730

A mist eliminator device, particularly well suited for use in a wet scrubber apparatus, has a plurality of parallel spaced apart chevron shaped baffle members transversely disposed in a peripheral frame to define a plurality of parallel correspondingly chevron shaped gas flow passages each having an inlet and outlet accommodating the flow of gas through the mist eliminator. Each passage includes an upstream branch disposed proximate the gas inlet and a downstream branch disposed proximate the gas outlet. The upstream branch of each gas flow passage is obliquely oriented to the plane of the peripheral frame and the downstream branch is oriented perpendicularly to the same plane. A mist trapping flange projects into each upstream branch of the gas flow passages and another mist trapping flange projects into each downstream branch of the gas flow passages.
