EUROMESH® Mesh Agglomerators are used in front of a Vane Type Demisting Device. It provides coalescence of the liquid droplets prior to engagement on the Demisting Device and substantially increases the separation efficiency by ensuring a high turn-down ratio of ≥ 10:1. Vane-type demisters are operating under much higher gas velocities than wire mesh demisters, and as the gas velocity thru the Mesh Agglomerator is too high for liquid separation, the liquid droplets will coalesce on the wire surface instead. Subsequently only large droplets entrain with the gas flow into the Vane-type demister, where the droplets are separated.

EUROMESH® Cyclones Demisting Devices are of an entirely new generation of straight-through axial flow cyclones, designed with a completely original geometry in both the swirl zone and the cyclone tube. In these devices, the gas enters and leaves the cyclone body without any significant change in direction. Droplets carried by the gas flow enter the cyclone through the optimised swirl element, creating a strong rotational motion. Under the influence of centrifugal forces, the droplets move across the gas stream until they impinge on the aerodynamically shaped body of the cyclone where they are separated out.

EUROMESH® Plate-pack Coalescer is used for liquid/liquid separation, and it’s process is gravity driven. Additional separation aids are often required to increase the separation efficiency, throughput and or reduce the size of the vessel. Many 3-phase (gas/liquid/liquid) or 2-phase (liquid/liquid) separators do incorporate a Plate Pack Coalescer to achieve these objectives. Plate Pack Coalescers contain numerous parallel plates at a fixed angle, depending on the operational process conditions and whether solids are present. As the flow between the plates are moving in a laminar regime, smaller droplets can be separated than normally achieved by gravity alone. Since the distance of dispersed phases have to travel to the plate surfaces is small, the residence times required for effective separation can be reduced. When installed with a well-designed baffling system, our Plate Pack Coalescers do have very good motion dampening capabilities, enabling their use to counter surface waves in separation equipment.

EUROMESH® Inlet Cyclones applies centrifugal forces to the fluid mixture, to achieve optimal degassing of the liquid. The incoming fluid mixture flows smoothly from the inlet pipe into the highly optimised tangential inlet zone, before entering the separation zone of the cyclone. This lessens the potential for droplet shatter and gently releases the gas from the liquid under influence of centrifugal forces, thereby optimising the gas/liquid separation process. The gas-free liquid mixture travels with a swirling motion to the liquid outlet of the cyclone, where the low velocity levels ensure the best possible liquid/liquid separation. Since this design does not incorporate any guide or flow control vanes, extremely good sand handling capabilities are obtained. It should also be noted that little or no gas will normally be present in the liquid(s) leaving the inlet cyclones. Thus, the use of inlet cyclones has the added benefit of preventing foaming in the separated liquids.
