Wet gas separator

An apparatus that is a superior wet gas separator for de-entraining droplets of liquids from a gas stream, comprising a body having a first inlet end and a second outlet end, and a demister dividing the interior of the body into an inlet compartment and an outlet compartment,

• a gas inlet for introducing a gas stream into the inlet compartment,
• a gas outlet for exhausting processed gas from the outlet compartment, superior performance being achieved by incorporating at least one of:
• installing at the inlet compartment a gas inlet system that divides and directs the gas stream, to improve gas flow throughout the inlet compartment and thereby improve capture of droplets at the demister,
• adding a first stage de-entraining device at the upstream side of a wire mesh mist eliminator, thereby reducing the load on the wire mesh demister and so improving droplet capture efficiency, and
• installing at the outlet compartment a gas outlet system having cyclones for removal of residual or re-entrained droplets.
