2. Demister pad • It is safe to say that, when it comes to chemical engineering and industries that heavily rely on separation columns for their bread and butter, the humble demister pad, or otherwise known as a mist pad, plays a vital role! • No wonder why one should take all the necessary steps there is to ensure that the mist pads installed in a separation column are taken care of. That stated, here is a general overview of how one can maintain mist pads. www.finepacindia.in

3. Ensure the mist pad is free from clogs • Mist eliminators will perform the best when its pores are not clogged. Clogged mist eliminators can lead to dramatic drops in pressure, thus bringing down the efficiency of the column as well! • It is a good idea to clean mist eliminators periodically and related internals inside a separation column to keep operational snags and sharp drops in column efficiency at bay! www.finepacindia.in

4. Check for signs of corrosion • It is never a bad idea to halt regular operations and inspect the separation column and its internals specifically, its mist eliminators. Mist eliminator inspection should consist of: • Complete removal of the demister pad from the column. • Close inspection of the mesh on the pad. • Look for possible signs of corrosion. www.finepacindia.in

5. Always keep tabs on pressure drops • One best way to ensure that mist pads inside a separation column are in their prime operational condition is to keep tabs on pressure drops (if any). • It is an excellent decision for one to take if the same records the initial drop in pressure, especially when the tower is turned on. In this scenario, the demister or mist pads are clean; hence the readings will act as a benchmark for future readings. www.finepacindia.in

6. Downstream process monitoring is also essential • Keeping tabs on the downstream of a separation column – especially after a snag, is a boss move! • One can easily conclude that the mist pad(s) inside a separation column is/are not working properly when they witness that excess liquid is accumulating in the lower portions of a column. • One can conclude that the liquid mixture is bypassing the mist eliminators. The reason is simple – the mist eliminators may have developed holes. The solution is the complete replacement of the faulty mist eliminators. www.finepacindia.in
