Kimre™ Technology
The introduction of Kimre™ patented high-performance, interlaced mesh structure revolutionized the technology of process fluid separation and air pollution control.
This unique, innovative concept is far superior to the usual tower packing, chevrons, and mesh pads used for mass and heat transfer, particulate removal and mist elimination.
As a result, industries around the world have increased production, reduced energy and maintenance costs, and reduced emissions to comply with ever more stringent air and water pollution control standards.
The Kimre interlaced mesh structure is simple, yet surprisingly effective. The basic structure of the mesh forms a ladder-like arrangement of thermoplastic filaments, forming double-V systems that intersect each other at right angles.
Our engineered mesh construction has a large surface area and void space. The choice of filament diameter and the physical arrangement of mesh layers optimize the effectiveness and range of solid or liquid particle removal.
Kimre B-GON® mist eliminator and KON-TANE® scrubber media are produced in a variety of thermoplastic filament materials which allows for continuous service 204° C (400° F) and process corrosion resistance.

Mist Eliminators The thermoplastic media eliminates problems associated with corrosion, contamination, and erosion. The lightweight material is flexible, offers exact fit and is easy to install, remove, and maintain.
Kimre offers a range of products, all based on its unique media that effectively removes solid and liquid particles below one micron while draining large volumes of liquid. Kimre products are so effective they make traditional tower packing and metal pads obsolete.

ist elimination or demisting can be defined as the
mechanical separation of liquids from gases. The first and moswidely used separators were comprised of impaction devices in packed columns, such as packing and perforated plates. Cyclonic separators were later developed to lower the height of the packed columns. Then wire mesh mist eliminators were invented to lower the pressure drop of the cyclonic separatand improve the collection effic
The wire mist eliminators, commonly referred to as knitted mesh mist eliminators, collect droplets by the inertial impaction and interception mechanisms of collection. The wire mesh separators are commonly used to collect droplets above 5 microns in diameter. However, when the separation of droplets in the 1-3 µm is required, these wire mist eliminators are largely ineffective because of the mesh’s random structure, irregular density, and coarse fiber diameters. Kimre structured media expands on the wire mesh mist eliminators capacities, providing lower
Features and benefits of B-GON® Mist-Eliminators:
• Wide availability of materials and styles results in a unique solution for every application
• Composite pads are available • Can operate at the highest gas velocities based on the
largest fiber diameters in the industry • High void spaces and large fiber diameters contribute to
the highest resistance to fouling. • Highest collection efficiency of ANY material:
99+% @ 1 µm • Pads are supplied in sizes from 4" diameter to ANY size • Material is cleanable & reusable with extended service
life in the most harsh environments • Coalescers can be made from the finest styles of material • Support systems are available

volumetric free space as a percent open. The above styles are standard. Other variations are available on special order.
Kimre developed a structured mesh to combat the weaknesses of the wire mesh already on the market. The material has been described as ladder-like or honeycomb-like and is comprised of three-dimensionally interlocked plastic monofilaments. Since 93% of the fibers are perpendicular to the gas flow, the pressure loss through the media is dramatically lower for the same level of efficiency as a traditional knitted mesh mist eliminator. Because of Kimre’s unique structure, we are able to produce our media in the widest range of fiber diameters in the industry. This allows Kimre’s engineers to design for the highest level of performance at any particle or mist size.
Description of B-GON® Kimre offers custom designed mist eliminators for collection of droplets and particulates above 0.8 microns in diameter. Several standard pad designs are available for routine installations, but thousands of pad combinations are available for unique situations. The following graph displays the collection efficiency and clean operating pressure drop of some standard pad designs operating in an air/water environment under ambient conditions. Please feel free to use this information for general information purposes only. We strongly recommend that you contact Kimre to discuss your particular application and determine the best design for you.
