Construction Materials

Fibres:

• Chemical resistant fi breglass

• Polyester

• Carbon fi bres

Cages:

• Stainless steel

• Carbon steel

• Special alloys

• FRP

• Plastics (PP, PVDF, PTFE)

Characteristics

• Separation by brownian diffusion of

droplets and impingement on the fi bres

• Micron-size fi bers placed between two

concentric cylindrical cages

• Very dense packing

• Mostly made in one piece

• Standing or hanging elements

• Secured with bolting

Typical Applications

• Sulphuric acid plants

• Chlorine Industry

• Ammonia scrubbing

• Ammonium nitrate

• Lube oil vent from compressors

• Digesting of wood pulp

Benefits

• Extremely high liquid removal effi ciency

(submicron level)

• Unlimited turn-down capabilities without

effi ciency loss
