Atephos mist eliminators by way of brownian diffusion
EFC Atephos brownian diffusion candles were developed to separate very small droplets/sub micron aerosols contained in gases.
The candles consist of a structure cage, depending on the application made from RVS 316, RVS 304, Titanium gr2, GRP, PP, PVDF….
Depending on the application, a specific filter medium is wrapped around this core. EFC provides an extensive range of filter media to design the appropriate filter. Fibre type is depending on the application: the most common fibres are chemically resistant glass, polyester, polypropylene or carbon.
EFC has developed an exclusive wrapping method to produce extremely accurate filters for any application and according to the specific needs of the customer.

Technical data
- Brownian diffusion type candle: due to the very low gas velocities ( random Brownian movement sub micron droplets ) small sub micron droplets collide on a fibre and are retrained from the gas stream. Larger droplets are retained by inertial impaction mechanism. Horizontal position of the candles facilitates liquid drainage, liquid can be drained outside the tower.
- High velocity
- High gas throughput
- Brownian diffusion Fibre bed
- High Efficiency >99,5%
- Customised fibre beds
