Demister in a KO vessel upstream of incinerator, critical?
Demister in a KO vessel upstream of incinerator, critical?
(OP)
Hi, I would like to know:
How critical is the need of a demister in a KO vessel upstream of incinerator?
The liquid content is about 0.32% of the feed.
Is it a good practice to have a demister or not?
Thanks for your time.
Jenny

Since a KOD is usually designed to separate a certain size of liquid droplets (vg 300-500 micron), besides slugs of liquid, I found redundat to install a demister.
Also, if the gas stream is expected to be dirty then demister can be plugged causing a great undesirable pressure drop.
Regards.
