Liquid carryover is one of the most common and costly problems in gas separation systems. In this animation, we explain how liquid carryover occurs, why it happens, and the impact it can have on downstream equipment.

You’ll learn how a mist eliminator (mesh pad) removes entrained liquid droplets from the gas stream, what causes liquid carryover when operating conditions exceed design limits or the mist eliminator is installed incorrectly, and why proper separator design and maintenance are essential for reliable operation.

In this video:

How a mist eliminator (mesh pad) works
What causes liquid carryover
Effects of high gas velocity
Consequences of liquid carryover on downstream equipment
Best practices to prevent liquid carryover

Whether you’re an engineer, operator, student, or anyone interested in oil and gas processing, this video provides a clear visual explanation of one of the most important concepts in gas-liquid separation.
