    Demisters are devices used in vapor-liquid separators to help remove liquid droplets from vapor streams. They work by aggregating mist into heavier droplets that can more easily separate. Demisters reduce the size and costs of separator equipment needed to remove a given droplet size. They are commonly used in processes like desalination where vapor quality is important and equipment costs are high.

    A typical, large-scale, vapor-liquid separator as used in oil refineries,


    petrochemical and chemical plants
    A demister is a device often fitted to vapor�liquid separator vessels to enhance
    the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream. Demisters may be a
    mesh-type coalescer, vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist
    into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream.[1]

    Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet
    size by reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment. Demisters
    are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids,
    particularly where separator equipment costs are high (e.g., high-pressure systems)
    or where space or weight savings are advantageous.

    For example, in the process of brine desalination on marine vessels, brine is


    flash-heated into vapor. In flashing, vapor carries over droplets of brine, which
    have to be separated before condensing, otherwise the distillate vapor would be
    contaminated with salt. This is the role of the demister. Demisted vapor condenses
    on tubes in the desalination plant, and product water is collected in the
    distillate tray.
