Abstract: An improved mist eliminator for use in a column and a method for removing liquid from a gas stream, which mist eliminator comprises a plurality of spaced apart chevron-type baffle members, the baffle members defining a plurality of gas flow paths therebetween and transversely disposed to the axis of the column, the upstream leading edge of the chevron-type baffle members characterized by a plurality of downwardly extending drainage teeth or points thereon to promote the rapid drainage of coalescent liquid from the chevron-type baffle members thereby increasing the critical or maximum allowable velocity of the gas stream and the gas capacity of the chevron-type baffle members and decreasing the pressure drop across the mist eliminator.
