1 Products availableColpack has, over the years, become generally accepted as the most efficient packing for distillation towers operating at reduced pressure. It is ideal for the separation of heat-sensitive and close-boiling fractions, where many theoretical stages and low pressure drop are required. Colpack offers a precise solution to this challenge.
ConstructionColpacks are fabricated by knitting bunched fine wires of filaments (0.01 mm), which are then crimped and wound into rolls of the desired column diameter.
Any material that can be drawn into fine wire or filament may be used, but SS 304 and SS 316 are commonly stocked. Higher alloys are available upon request.
Supplied as 150 mm high packings, matching the nominal bore of the column.
Requires only simple support—typically two bars at right angles or parallel bars (6-inch spacing) for large towers.
Packed from the top, ensuring the tower is free of internal projections.
Push gently down to the support grid using a wooden disc mounted on a pole to prevent damage.
Alternate crimp directions should be maintained for optimal performance.
Easily retrofitted to existing columns by replacing random packing, leading to:
Improved product quality
Higher production capacity
Lower pressure drop
Low bulk density (432 kg/m³) results in:
Lighter columns
Reduced structural foundation needs
Lower insulation, piping, and installation costs
Possible column diameter reduction
High voidage allows free flow of liquid and vapor, leading to:
Extremely low pressure drop per unit height
High surface area (1780 m²/m³) enables:
Intimate vapor-liquid contact
Lower HETP values
HETP < 15 cm over the entire velocity range
Flooding velocity is 2 to 2.5 times higher than conventional packings, allowing:
Smaller column diameters or

Vacuum distillation, where pressure drop is critical and high separation efficiency is needed.
Thermal-sensitive component separation.
Very low superficial velocities (as low as 0.1 cm/sec).
Pollution control, especially in the biological oxidation of liquid effluents.
Manufacture of organic compounds.
Outperforms conventional packings in both performance and reliability.
Shreewire Mist Eliminator is a static, in-line separation device fabricated in pad form from symmetrical interlocking loops of knitted metal wire or plastic monofilaments. With high free volume and a large impingement surface area, the mist eliminator ensures separation efficiency of up to 99% for particles as small as 5 microns, while maintaining a low pressure drop around 25 mm WC.
It can be installed in new or existing process vessels—such as evaporators, scrubbers, and pressure vessels—without the need for special housing. It is virtually maintenance-free, requiring only occasional cleaning in fouling service.
How Does the Shreewire Mist Eliminator Work?As vapor carrying entrained liquid droplets or mist passes through the Shreewire Mist Eliminator, the vapor moves freely through the layered mesh. The droplets, having greater inertia, impact the wire surface and are temporarily held. As they collect and coalesce, they grow larger and eventually drain back into the system. The result is an overhead vapor stream that is nearly free of liquid.
Efficiency and PerformanceRemoves droplets down to 5 microns
Separation efficiency up to 99%
Available in multiple mesh styles and materials
Pressure drop typically less than 25 mm WC; around 5 mm WC in vacuum service
Special high-efficiency designs available upon request
Shreewire Mist Eliminators are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including:
Distillation Equipment
Knockout Drums
Scrubbers
Absorbers
Evaporators
Vacuum Towers
Steam Drums
Strippers and Regenerators
The selection and sizing of a Shreewire Mist Eliminator depends on several factors:
Gas or vapor flow rate and entrained liquid content
Droplet size distribution and separation efficiency required
Allowable design velocity
Physical and chemical properties of the gas and liquid phases
Material of construction
The mist eliminator consists of a wire mesh pad sandwiched between a top hold-down grid and a bottom support grid. These grids are specially designed with a high percentage of open area to minimize pressure drop.
Key installation requirements:
The pad is slightly oversized to ensure a tight fit within the vessel
A 50 to 75 mm wide annular support ring, drilled with 3 to 6 mm diameter holes, should be welded to the vessel wall
The pad and grid assembly is secured using 2 mm diameter tie wires or spacer pipes with appropriate bolts and fasteners
Intermediate support beams are recommended for spans larger than 1800–2000 mm
A **demister pad** (also known as a **mesh mist eliminator**) is a wire mesh device used to remove liquid droplets from gas or vapor streams. It works by causing mist-laden gas to pass through a dense mesh of metal or plastic wires, where the droplets collide, coalesce, and drain away due to gravity. Demister pads are widely used in **separators, scrubbers, and process columns** for efficient mist removal with **low pressure drop**, typically capturing droplets ≥3–5 microns.

A **vane type mist eliminator** is a gas-liquid separation device designed to remove entrained liquid droplets from a gas stream. It consists of a series of angled or curved vanes that force the gas to change direction. As the gas flows through the vanes, liquid droplets collide with the surfaces, coalesce, and drain away, allowing clean gas to exit. It offers **high efficiency** for droplets ≥8–10 microns with **low pressure drop**, making it ideal for use in **separators, scrubbers, and process vessels**.

Product Overview
Shreewire’s Vane Type Mist Eliminators are designed for high-performance separation of liquid particles from gas streams in process systems. These Chevron-type vane packs consist of a series of specially engineered vanes with defined geometry that cause directional changes in the gas flow. The liquid droplets, having higher inertia than the gas molecules, impact the vane surfaces, coalesce, and drain away due to gravity.
Operating Principle
As the gas stream passes through the vane pack, the liquid droplets are forced to change direction multiple times. Due to their inertia, the droplets contact and wet the vane surfaces, particularly in the corrugations. As they accumulate and grow in size, gravity causes them to fall out of the gas stream, effectively removing them before the gas exits the separator.
Efficiency
Capable of removing over 99.5% of liquid droplets
Effective for particles ≥ 20 µm and 8 µm, depending on configuration
High separation efficiency even at high gas velocities and liquid loads

Tee Strainer is fabricated from pipes & plates or standard equal tee & flanges. Filter elements are made of stainless steel perforated sheet or wire mesh supported by perforated sheet. In tee type strainer, a structural skeleton made of flats and round bar is often used to support the wire mesh. Tee Type Strainers are a low-cost solution to large nominal bore straining requirements. They feature either bolted covers or quick-opening covers based on application suitability.
Tee-type strainers are designed to remove particles from pipelines where a compact and accessible strainer is required for the protection of fluid handling systems. The use of custom-assembled micron meshes and screens ensures optimal functionality standards.
Specifications:
Pressure, Temperature Rating: 50 kg/cm², 300°C
MOC: CS / SS 304 / SS 316 / PP
Size and Range: 80 NB to 1000 NB and mesh from 10 to 6000 microns
Process Connection: Any International Standard
The filter unit comprises of two filter chambers which are connected to each other by means of three-way ball valves. The liquid to be filtered enters through the inlet connection and passes through the specially engineered wedge wire element, with the flow being outside to inside. Solids larger than the selected micron spacing are either retained on the outside of the filter element or drop into the filter chamber sump. Duplex strainers are designed for use in fluid handling systems where the flow can’t be shut down for filter cleaning. The duplex filters ensure complete removal of any type of foreign particles from the system.
Principle
When one basket becomes full, the flow is switched to the other basket. The first basket is removed, cleaned, and replaced.
Working
The duplex strainer system usually consists of two separate strainer baskets housed in the unit. The system also contains a valve handle placed between the two baskets to divert the flow of liquid to one strainer while the other is being cleaned.
Operations
Basket strainers feature top removal of the filter screen. The screen is in the form of a basket with a lifting handle, so that all particulate captured and retained by the screen can be easily removed for disposal. They are intended for applications where large amounts of solid particulate are expected and where the clean-out will be frequent. Where fine filtration is required, the basket is replaced by cartridge filters. During cartridge cleaning or change-out, the housing can be cleaned by opening the lower plug.
Applications
Where continuous operation is required and the line cannot be shut down for cleaning, duplex basket strainers can be used. Suitable for applications where continuous filtration is absolutely necessary.
Advantages
Superior filtration area
Can be custom built
Continuous usage during basket change-out
Debris collects away from the process stream
