Mist Eliminator in Evaporator

In 2016, a traditional sugar and ethanol plant contacted Clark Solutions with a request to replace mesh-type mist eliminators installed in several of their process steps.

More specifically, during the evaporation stages, the existing equipment operated with extremely poor efficiency.

The solution developed and provided by Clark Solutions was the MaxiMesh®, a mist eliminator that combines robustness with high particle retention capacity. MaxiMesh® eliminators are manufactured using ultra-fine wires knitted into a three-dimensional mesh structure with a very high void fraction. They can be produced in any size or shape and built from stainless steel or special metal alloys, ensuring maximum corrosion resistance.

The vapor generated flows freely through the mesh, while the inertia of the droplets causes them to impact the wire surface, where they accumulate and coalesce into larger drops. These can then be drained by gravity and recovered back into the process.
