- Definition filter device that removes entrained liquid droplets from a gas stream Reference European Commission. JRC. Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for the Non-Ferrous Metals Industries, http://eippcb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reference/BREF/NFM_Final_Draft_10_2014.pdf [21.6.2018]
- Comment 1) It consists of a woven structure of metal or plastic wires, with a high specific surface. Through their momentum, small droplets present in the gas stream impinge against the wires and coalesce into larger drops.2) Solid dust particles remain in the filter until it is saturated and requires cleaning by flushing. When the mist filter is used to collect droplets and/or aerosols, it is usually self-cleaning, drained by the liquid. It works by mechanical impingement and is velocity-dependent. Baffle angle separators [ IATE:3573397 ] are also commonly used as mist filtersReference: 1) European Commission. JRC.
