Abstract: A demisting system used to remove entrained liquid droplets from a gas stream employing radially arranged serpentine vanes. The radial arrangement of the vanes provides flow paths in which the leading edges of the serpentine vanes are closer together than the trailing edges so that a gas stream must undergo a series of direction and velocity changes. Centrifugal forces act to cause liquid droplets to impinge on the surface of the vanes. Surface tension holds the liquid on the vanes as it collects and gravity causes the collected liquid to drain downward and out of the demisting system.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating commingled heavier and lighter immiscible liquids and solids having an upright vessel, a vertical flow tube within the vessel having an upper fluid outlet opening and a lower fluid inlet opening therein, an upper horizontal spreader baffle extending from the flow tube and below the fluid outlet and a lower horizontal spreader baffle extending from the flow tube and above the fluid inlet, a concentric side tube positioned exteriorly of and parallel the vessel and connected to the flow tube below the fluid inlet and providing for the maintenance of a liquid/liquid interface within the vessel above the upper spreader baffle and a commingled fluid inlet pipe extending from exterior of the baffle to the flow tube, the baffle providing means for change of fluid direction from horizontal to vertical and vise versa to improve separation of the lighter from the heavier immiscible liquids and for drawing off both the lighter and the heavier liquids from the vessel.
