Ammonium Nitrate
Ammonium nitrate applications include vent lines coming off the neutralizer and the evaporator concentrator. These applications typically use FLEXIFIBER® Type BD or Type IC Mist Eliminators. In addition, the AN prill tower must be fitted with mist eliminators. A combination of DEMISTER® and FLEXIFIBER® Mist Eliminators works well to remove sub-micron mist and particulate that causes a visible plume.

Ethylene / Propylene
Revamps to provide more throughput capacity for ethylene/propylene products are simplified using high capacity DEMISTER® or DEMISTER-PLUS™ Mist Eliminator technology.

Knockout drums for multi-stage compressors can increase capacity dramatically. Further advances in capacity can be achieved by using YORK-EVENFLOW™ Inlet Gas Distribution Devices.

Nitric Acid
As air and ammonia are fed to the reactor/converter, they must first be cleaned using FLEXIFIBER® Mist Eliminators to prevent decomposition of the ammonia and contamination of the platinum gauze. In addition, the FLEXIFIBER mist eliminators are used to filter and recover the platinum gauze and to eliminate acid mist carried over from the absorption tower.

Organic Vent Packages
Any organic liquid that has been heated and rapidly shock-cooled can generate fine sub-micron droplets. These small mist particles create a "blue plume" because of the refraction of light waves off the sub-micron organic particles. Removal of these particles is accomplished by using FLEXIFIBER® Mist Eliminators. These skid mounted mist eliminator systems can be supplied complete with blowers, pre-filters, piping, and instrumentation.

Phosphoric Acid
Burning and hydrating phosphorus rock causes small, sometimes sub-micron droplets that can cause air pollution if not treated properly. FLEXIFIBER® Type BD or Type IC Mist Eliminators eliminate the fine mist associated with this process.

Sulfonation
Typically SO3 is used to react with aromatic hydrocarbon for the sulfonation process. The SO3 will often combine with moisture in the air creating acid that causes safety and corrosion problems. In addition, acid mist in the SO3 will cause a hazy appearance in the final product. FLEXIFIBER® Mist Eliminators can protect your investment by removing contaminants in the SO3 stream prior to reaction and also remove acid mist after the reactor.

Urea Applications
FLEXIFIBER® Mist Eliminators are used to eliminate oil and water contamination from CO2 compressors prior to reaction. In addition, FLEXIFIBER mist eliminators are used downstream of prill towers and evaporators to remove plumes, pollution, and product loss.
