SplitChevron mist eliminator

A vane-type mist eliminator designed for efficient separation of liquid droplets under various conditions, including fouling and aggressive media, with vertical or horizontal gas flow, with or without a drainage system for removing separated liquid.

We select profiles of different shapes for different tasks. Simple profiles separate liquid by impingement, coalescence and drainage on the vane surface without separating the liquid from the gas flow. They are particularly suitable for services with a significant fouling risk due to solids or high-viscosity liquids in the feed.
In more complex designs, the profiles form channels into which liquid separated from the gas enters through slots. The collected liquid flows to the bottom of the channel and is removed through drains.

The Spliteks portfolio includes more than twenty SplitChevron designs that have been successfully used in various separators and processes. Applications: wherever efficient separation with low hydraulic resistance is required. SplitChevron separation efficiency can be increased by combining it with a SplitMesh device.

About

Spliteks manufactures the SplitChevron mist eliminator, a modern, highly efficient vane-type device designed to remove fine liquid droplets from gas under various industrial conditions.

Operating principle of the mist eliminator

The mist eliminator operates on the principles of inertial separation and coalescence. The gas stream containing liquid droplets passes through a system of profiled vanes. When the flow direction changes, the droplets strike the profile surface by inertia and drain downwards as a film under gravity. The cleaned gas continues to flow with minimal moisture carryover.

The design operates efficiently with both vertical and horizontal flow, making the device suitable for different types of separator.

Design features

SplitChevron is available in several designs. Simple profiles separate liquid through impingement, coalescence and drainage. In more complex designs, the profiles form closed channels into which the separated liquid enters through special slots before being discharged through the drainage system.

Design advantages:

  • High removal efficiency for droplets as small as 8–10 μm.

  • Low hydraulic resistance.

  • Resistance to fouling by solid particles and highly viscous media.

  • Can be combined with other devices (SplitSwirl and SplitMesh).

All components are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials selected for aggressive process media.

Advantages

SplitChevron devices are reliable and durable under demanding operating conditions. They provide high separation efficiency with minimal operating costs. Combining them with other internals makes it possible to achieve virtually any required degree of separation.

Advantages include:

  • Stable operation with significant flow-rate fluctuations.

  • Straightforward installation and maintenance.

  • Long run length between turnarounds.

Manufacture and supply

Its own manufacturing facilities in Serpukhov enable mist eliminators to be produced for specific separator parameters, including diameter, flow rate, pressure and medium composition. SplitChevron can be manufactured for installation in a section of any shape, including circular or rectangular sections. Each component undergoes quality control and hydraulic testing.

Spliteks provides a full range of services, from process inspections, process and hydraulic calculations and the preparation of detailed design documentation to on-site installation and installation supervision for equipment manufactured at its own facilities.

The SplitChevron mist eliminator can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Prompt delivery is arranged throughout Russia, including Moscow. Our specialists help select the optimum configuration for existing and planned units.

The SplitChevron mist eliminator is a reliable and efficient solution for improving separation performance and ensuring stable operation of separation equipment in the oil and gas and chemical industries.
