The fiber bed mist eliminators also known as candle filters and fiber bed filters, they are composed of millions of fine fiber which are packed between two concentric cylindrical screens with a top flange and a bottom drain plate. These fiber bed filters are typically a vertical cylinder, are used to remove sub-micron aerosol, mists and soluble solid particles from a gas stream, can meet a wide range of application and industry requirements.

WEB WIRE MESH can offer fiber bed mist eliminator standard specifications, the diameter size range from 200 mm to 890 mm, and manufacture length up to 5080 mm, the fiber bed candle filters are commonly construction with materials of glass, polypropylene or polyester.

How it work?

All mist eliminators operate in a similar manner. The fiber bed filters are installed vertically, and the gas entrained liquid droplets pass in a horizontal direction through the fiber bed. The liquid droplets are collected by inertial impaction and Brownian diffusion, then the liquids are drain off by gravity and the gas emerge from the bed exiting from the top.
