Introduction
B-GONŽ Mist Eliminators cause low pressure drop, giving higher
throughput at lower energy usage. Kimre technology makes this possible because all B-GONŽ
filaments are engineered to align perpendicular to your gas flow for maximum droplet
removal efficiency. This unique interlacing is in sharp contrast to the random
orientation of competitive products of knitted mesh. B-GONŽ mesh combines the best
features of knitted mesh and plate type eliminators. The ladder arrangement of the
two sets of filaments causes a change in direction of vapor flow which enhances droplet
removal by impaction, interception and centrifugal actions. This also produces a
cross-flow of captured liquid that flushes particulates from the media.
Composite pads are a unique Kimre feature. Because particle
size distribution and flow conditions are subject to unpredictable variations and in-plant
data on them are not full or completely known, Kimre has developed composite pads for
stagewise droplet removal. These uniquely
designed B-GONŽ Mist Eliminators have several layers of differing coarseness (see picture
below). Heavy loads of solid particulates or liquids can be stopped with coarse styles
while less coarse styles eliminate small liquid droplets. B-GONŽ composite pads are
a robust design, less sensitive
to fluctuating operating conditions.

The best way to evaluate the performance of the B-GONŽ mist
eliminator is to examine a sample mist eliminator design. The mesh styles can be
arranged in a number of different ways to achieve the desired performance.
