Demister / Mist Eliminator Solutions for Process Efficiency

At NOCKERS ENGINEERING PRODUCTS, we supply wire mesh demisters and mist eliminators designed to remove liquid droplets from gas and vapour streams in industrial processing systems. Manufactured from stainless steel, carbon steel, copper alloys, plastics, or combinations, our mist eliminators are engineered for high efficiency, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability.

As an industrial wire supplier in South Africa, we provide technical guidance, material traceability, and application-specific designs for industries such as petrochemicals, mining, power generation, and desalination.

How Wire Mesh

Demisters Work

Wire mesh demisters (mist eliminators) capture liquid droplets from gas and vapour streams as they pass through fine knitted mesh. The droplets collide with the wire surface, merge into larger droplets, and fall back into the vessel.

  • Standard mesh achieves 99.9% removal of droplets sized 5–12 µm.
  • Specialised designs can separate droplets down to 3 µm.
  • Efficiency depends on mesh surface area, voids, and flow velocity. If velocity is too high, flooding may occur and droplets can re-entrain.
  • Made from fine knitted wires in various mesh pad thicknesses (densities).
  • Typical wire diameters: 0.10 mm – 0.50 mm.
  • Specific surface area: 150 m²/m³ – 1100 m²/m³, depending on mesh type.
  • Mesh pads are usually 100–150 mm deep.
  • Deeper pads or multiple layers are used for very fine droplets (e.g. from condensation).
  • Support grids are supplied to maintain stability, with ~90% free inflow area.
  • Pads must fit tightly to column walls to avoid bypass flow.
  • Absorbers
  • Seawater desalination plants
  • Washers
  • Sulphuric acid plants
  • Vacuum columns
  • Sound absorbers and vibration dampers
  • Distillation and rectification plants
  • Oil separators
  • Evaporators
