Demister separators are primarily used in applications that involve gas-liquid separation, such as processing of chemicals and food products. They can also be used for liquid-solid separation, coalescing and gas-vapor separation. Mesh sizes are generally determined by the application, but typically range from 2 to 60 microns.

Materials of construction vary depending on process conditions, however, all wetted surfaces must be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials. Typical materials include polypropylene, PVC, polycarbonate, stainless steel, Hastelloy and tantalum. Materials may also be coated with a corrosion-resistant resin or other material to further enhance chemical compatibility.

Applications: Demister separators can be used in a variety of applications such as petrochemical and pharmaceutical processing, petrochemical refining, power generation, water treatment, oil and gas production, food processing, and many other industrial processes. Their ability to separate liquid droplets from a gas stream makes them an ideal choice for these operations.
