Such arrangements require the installation of high-performance droplet separators that can capture even the finest droplets, usually less than 10 µm in diameter, while creating as little pressure loss as possible. Working closely with plant operators and scientific institutes, Lechler has developed a variety of droplet separators that have proven to be highly successful in many areas of industry:

• In reducing environmental pollution caused by existing facilities
• In gas washing facilities
• In the chemical industry
• In the wood pulp industry
• In air conditioning and ventilation systems
• On offshore platforms
• In cooling towers and evaporative condensers
• Wherever the finest droplets must be effectively separated from vertical gas streams

Lechlerin Droplet Separator Systems are customized solutions as each of these applications has unique requirements.

• Removal of sulfur compounds
• Protection of subsequent plant components
• Reducing operating costs

• Modular design of systems
• Highest separation efficiency for large liquid volumes
• Separation of small droplets
• Compact design even at high gas speeds
• Low pressure losses
• Smoother flow distribution
• Also use with high solid particle quantities
• Cleaning during ongoing work
• Delivery of a general concept
• Nozzles for desulfurization of flue gases

Droplet Separator Systems

• Integrated cleaning systems for droplet separators
• Special Production Droplet Separator Systems

The design and planning of Droplet Separators is essential for a thorough understanding of the function and performance of various separation systems, as well as a good understanding of the process in which the Droplet Separator will be incorporated. When designing a Droplet Separator, it is crucial to understand how droplets are formed and how they are transported in the gas flow.

We can honestly say that we know more about this than others, as we have been involved in the detection, measurement and identification of droplets for over 140 years. It is not without reason that Lechler Droplet Separators have become such important elements in almost every field of process engineering.

Drip separators can be manufactured in a wide variety of designs from stainless steel, plastic or aluminum materials. They are supplied as ready-to-install components or as separate slats.
