Filtration mist removal

A chemical engineer concerned with sulphuric acid production would be aware of all the processes given in the tables but most familiar with only those of direct concern. These include filtration, drying and acid spray/mist removal. 

Coalescing is a technique used in filter media for the separation of liquid aerosols and droplets from a gas, and coalescing filters are specifically designed to remove submicron oil, water, and other liquid droplets from airflows. It is used for the removal of mist and foggy pollutants, irritants, and odours in natural gas vehicle filtration, compressed air filtration, compressed natural gas filtration, mist elimination, and air oil separation. 

Fiber Bed Alist Filtration. In-depth fiber bed filters are used for the collection of Hquid droplets, fogs, and mists. Horizontal pads of knitted metal wire (or plastic fibers), 100—150 mm thick, and gas updow are used for Hquid entrainment removal. Pressure drop is 250—500 Pa (1.9—3.8 mm Hg).

Natural ventilation is the controlled flow of air through doors, windows, vents, and other purposely provided openings caused by stack effect and wind pressure. Natural ventilation is used in spaces with a significant heat release, when process and hygienic requirements for indoor air quality allow outdoor air supply without filtration and treatment. Natural ventilation cannot be used when incoming outdoor air causes mist or condensation. Natural ventilation allows significant air change rates (20 to 50 ach) for heat removal with ntinimal operation costs. 

These operations may sometimes be better kno Ti as mist entrainment, decantation, dust collection, filtration, centrifugation, sedimentation, screening, classification, scrubbing, etc. They often involve handling relatively large quantities of one phase in order to collect or separate the other. Therefore the size of the equipment may become very large. For the sake of space and cost it is important that the equipment be specified and rated to Operate as efficiently as possible [9]. This subject will be limited here to the removal or separation of liquid or solid particles from a vapor or gas carrier stream (1. and 3. above) or separation of solid particles from a liquid (item 4j. Reference [56] is a helpful review. 

Most generators are also supplied with filtration systems to remove condensate, mist, and any particulates that might plug the membrane flow channels or fiber bores. Since the permeability and selectivity of the membranes can be highly temperature dependent, most applications require the air feed to be temperature controlled in order to control the product nitrogen quality or the membrane s performance. The nitrogen product is typically delivered under pressure and flow regulation to a receiver from which it is dispensed to users on demand. The coproduced permeate is typically simply vented back to the atmosphere.
