Study of Mist Elimination System

A mist eliminator or demister is to be designed and developed to remove excessive moisture content from a vapor stream in a certain flow or process. Mist eliminator consists of a series of profiled baffle plates that remove liquid droplets from a vapor stream by the inertia! impaction ofthe dropl...
