Brink Articles
Problem Solved with Brink Fiber Bed Mist Eliminator: Brink Compressed Gas Filter by MECS removes sub-micron aerosol mist contaminants at a chemical plant gas compressor. Reprinted from "Compressor Tech²", 4 pages
Demystifying Mist Eliminator Selection: Mist eliminators can protect equipment, recover product and control emissions. Apply these techniques to select the best mist eliminator for your service. Reprinted from "Chemical Engineering", 8 pages
Teamwork, technology result in early start-up for Peridot facility: Peridot Chemicals initiated a successful early start up of its new sulfuric acid plant - the culmination of the dedication to quality both by Peridot and by the project’s primary contractor, MECS of St. Louis, MO. Reprinted from "Sulfuric Acid Today", 1 page
Plant air contamination removed with fiber bed mist eliminator: Brink Mist Eliminators remove moisture and oil mist from U.S. Steel’s compressed air systems. Reprinted from "Engineer’s Digest", 1 page
Bi-component mist eliminator stops particulate emissions: East Penn Manufacturing, a lead/acid automobile battery reclaiming facility, uses Brink Mist Eliminators on the smelter off gas to capture ammonium bisulfite sub-micron mist particles. Reprinted from "Chemical Processing", 1 page
Bi-component bed mist eliminator eradicates acid-fume emissions: The Henkel Corp. in Hoboken, NJ manufactures surfactants. A Brink Fuming Acid Vent System by MECS effectively captures and hydrolyses CSA vapors from tank truck loading and storage facilities in the plant. Reprinted from "Chemical Processing", 2 pages
Mist Eliminator stops flooding; steadies process air dew point: The Lever Brothers’ detergent plant had flooding process air desiccant dryers on the sulfonation unit. MECS’ Brink Mist Eliminators removed the condensation that was formed as a result of large ambient humidity excursions. Reprinted from "Chemical Processing", 2 pages
Dupont Sets New Standards for Sulfuric Acid Plants: To avoid oleum fume releases during repair and replacement of piping systems in their sulfuric acid plant, Dupont engineers use a Brink Oleum Vent System to capture the dense sulfuric acid mist that is formed when oleum is exposed to moisture in the air. Reprinted from "CPI Equipment Reporter", 2 pages
Brink Case Studies
Plasticizer Opacity problem solved: Bo-Tex, a synthetic textile producer, was able to upgrade and improve their air pollution control design by using a Brink Organic Package System to capture voluminous, billowing oil mist smoke and recycle the collected plasticizer oil. 2 pages
Brink Alleviates OIl Contamination in Process Gas: Rohm & Haas avoids costly repairs to their ammonia recovery system by employing a Brink CGF (Compressed Gas Filter) after their flooded oil screw gas compressor. 2 pages
Mobile Fume Scrubber captures SO3 Fumes: Dupont uses a Brink Oleum Vent System to capture the dense sulfuric acid fog when performing routine repairs and maintenance on their fuming sulfuric acid (oleum) plants. 2 pages
Brink Mist Eliminator system replaces ESPs: Allied Fibers was faced with condensed oil vapor emissions that caused excessive repairs and maintenance to their electrostatic precipitators in their polyester plant. A clean stack, high reliability and low maintenance costs resulted from the installation of a Brink packaged system. 1 page

Nitric Acid plant gets 12 years service: Nitram, a nitric acid producer for the fertilizer industry uses a rotating system of a Brink fiber bed with a spare to clean the ammonia gas stream prior to the platinum gauzes for higher conversion over longer periods. 2 pages
Brink Technical Papers
Clearing Up Common Misconceptions Regarding Mist Eliminators: Fiber bed mist eliminators have been around since 1958 and during the past 50 years or so, tremendous improvements have been made by MECS, however some nagging misconceptions commonly exist in industry today. 4 pages
Clearing Up Misconceptions Regarding Mist Eliminators in Sulfuric Acid Service: A similar technical paper as above, however this adds focus on the misconceptions of “fiber bed weight” as a consistency parameter and EPA Method 8 as a fiber bed efficiency and performance metric in sulfuric acid plants. 3 pages
Brink Diffusion Fiber Beds for Ammonium Nitrate Applications: This paper reviews the basic diffusion fiberbed operating characteristics, mist collection mechanisms, fiber bed types & features, typical control equipment arrangements, and special features from a couple of large installations currently in operation today. 12 pages
Field Testing of Fiberbed Mist Eliminators for Sulphuric Acid Plant Service: This paper describes the portable field test apparatus, set-up and operation. Field testing of different fiber bed packing types are compared along with an extended surface area concentric fiberbed mist eliminator. In addition, the value of process gas pressure drop in sulphuric acid plants is described. 14 pages
