Abstract: A cellular drift eliminator for removing mist from a mist-laden gas stream includes a plurality of blades with a spacer element interspersed between every two blades. Both the blades and spacer elements have a longitudinally undulating shape with at least one undulation transverse to the direction of travel of the stream passing through the eliminator. Each spacer element has corrugations oriented transverse to the spacer element undulation. Each corrugation has two side walls connecting a flattened apex extending from the front face of the spacer elements and a flattened valley extending from the rear face of the spacer element. Each spacer element has flat planar portions formed at its lower edge in the regions of the flattened apices and valleys of the corrugations and cut portions extending from the lower edge in the regions of the side walls of the corrugations.

Abstract: This invention relates to a gas and liquid contact body comprising a plurality of adjacent, vertically oriented corrugated sheets where the corrugations extend downwardly at an oblique angle to the horizontal. The bottom portion of the corrugations is cut on an oblique angle along the width of the sheet to form a beveled bottom edge having peaks and valleys along the width of the sheet. Adjacent sheets to the contact body are oriented in front-to-front and rear-to-rear orientation such that the corrugations of adjacent sheets cross at intersections of their apices, and bottom portions form a regular, ordered pattern when viewed from the bottom.
