Method and apparatus for removing liquid from a gas/liquid flow for use in pulp washers, deinking cells, and the like are disclosed. A gas/liquid separator includes a separation chamber with a flow director providing a gas/liquid flow from a receptacle into the separator in a direction causing impingement of entrained liquid particles on a chamber wall such that liquid particles coalesce into liquid droplets that travel downward by the force of gravity to a separated liquid drain and drained outside the receptacle. A tangential flow inlet provides greater impingement than a cyclonic flow introduced at the lower end of the gas/liquid separator in initially directed upwards. Separated liquid could further be taken outside the pulp washer system for further processing or disposal based on the chemical content of the separated liquid.

Pulp washer mist eliminator and foam remover system

Improved mist eliminator ( ) for use in pulp washers, deinking cells and the like, and methods of use are disclosed. A cyclonic gas/liquid separator ( ) is provided that includes an elongated housing ( ) with a cyclonic flow inducing vane assembly ( ) disposed at a medial location along the length of the housing ( ) to divide the separator ( ) into two tandem cyclonic action zones ( ) of approximate equal volume within the housing ( ). An initial separation is effected in the first cyclonic action zone ( ) followed by final separation in the downstream or second cyclonic action zone ( ).
