Fiber Mist Eliminators Manufacturers

Fiber mist eliminators can capture mist droplets so small (below 1 micron) that they appear as smoke or nearly invisible haze. These units employ fine fibers typically cellulose, glass or plastic packed into a mat with thickness of a few inches. Fiber mist eliminators are mostly used in cylindrical form called candles but are also available in flat panels. Brownian motion, the main capture mechanism for submicron droplets in fiber mist eliminators is the frequent random jerks experienced by microscopic particles suspended in a gas or liquid. The cause is momentary inequalities in the number and speed of surrounding molecules hitting the particle from various directions. This tiny motion is enough to throw small droplets out of gas streamlines and held by the fibers in the mist eliminators.
