Evaporators and Concentrators
Koch-Otto York provides low pressure drop FLEXICHEVRON® Mist Eliminators for efficient mist elimination on multiple effect black liquor evaporators and liquor contactors. DEMISTER-PLUS™ Mist Eliminators are used for steam drums.

Typically, DEMISTER® or FLEXICHEVRON mist eliminators are used for scrubbers associated with the bleaching plant and chlorine dioxide absorber. FLEXICHEVRON mist eliminators are often used for paper machine/waste heat recovery systems to keep water from freezing on roofs and aggressive chemicals from destroying roofs.

Lube Oil Vent Mist Elimination
Gas and steam turbines utilize recycled lubricating oil for seals and bearings within the unit. As the oil is recycled back to the turbine oil reservoir, sub-micron oil mist escapes from the vent to the atmosphere causing accumulation of oil on roofs, buildings, equipment, and creates safety issues.

Koch-Otto York uses FLEXIFIBER® Type BD Mist Eliminators to eliminate the oil droplets and recirculate the coalesced droplets back to the oil reservoir. This same type of technology can also be applied to reciprocating compressors and venting of crankcases.

Sulfur Scrubbers & Flue Gas Desulfurization
Koch-Otto York supplies FLEXICHEVRON® Mist Eliminators specifically for sulfur dioxide scrubbers downstream of power boilers and also emissions associated with lime kilns. The FLEXICHEVRON mist elimination design provides low pressure drop, cleanability, and low potential for fouling.
