Abstract: A mist eliminator module, comprising a plurality of smooth parallel mist eliminator blades, preferably formed from a fiber reinforced polymeric material is disclosed. Each blade has in a captive edge portion at least one aperture, which is aligned with apertures in adjacent blades. At least one support rod extends through the apertures, with a plurality of resilient tubular spacers fitted onto the rod between the blades. At least one rigid spacer bar, having a plurality of slots in one face for receiving the free blade edge portions is attached to the other blade edges. A water spray may be directed onto the blades to form a film of water on the blades. The blades may be cleaned in place by removing the spacer bar and separating each blade from an adjacent blade, and manually cleaning each side of each blade. The blades may also be cleaned by operating the tower with the water spray running and the support bar removed so that the blades flex sufficiently to flake off any accumulated solids.
