Smaller Mist Eliminators
Example: 50,000 cfm odor control scrubber (H2S control) at a typical municipal waste water treatment plant.
Based upon the tower diameters determined:
| Packing Type | Design Gas Velocity | Tower Cross Sectional Area | Mist Eliminator Size |
| 1.5" Saddles, 2" Pall Rings | 290 ft/min | 50,000/290 = 172 ft2 | 15' diameter x 6" |
| 3.5" Tri-Packs | 442 ft/min | 50,000/442 = 113 ft2 | 12' diameter x 6" |
| Lantec Q-PAC | 637 ft/min | 50,000/637 = 78.5 ft2 | 10' diameter x 6" - best choice |
The mist eliminator cost using Q-PAC is reduced by roughly 30%!
Estimated Costs of 6" Polypropylene Mist Eliminators
15' diameter = $3,000
12' diameter = $2,200
10' diameter = $1,900 -- The Lantec solution!
