FiberBed Mist Eliminator
More than 25 years of experience at the design and
manufacturing of fiber bed mist eliminators associated
to an extensive experience in sulphuric acid plants
and related processes, Clark Solutions developed a
very complete and efficient line of brownian difusion
and impactation fibre bed candles.
Benefits of FiberBed:
Reduce or eliminate visible stack gas plumes
Provide unlimited turndown from design capacity
(brownian difusion candles)
Achieve a guaranteed pressure drop as low as
25 mm WC
Nearly 100% efficiency for particles smaller than 1 m
Long service lifetime
Interchangeable with existing fiberbed equipment
No moving parts
Special glass fiber filter media for strong acid services

Clark Solutions has an unique, state-of-the- art,
FiberBed manufacturing technology, that allows
complete control of performance parameters,
guaranteeing high efficiency and capacity on each
and every installation.
The filtering media of the FiberBed mist eliminator is one, responsible for the capture of the smaller

Acid Distributors
Clark Solutions designed Edmeston SXTM sulfuric
acid distributors will offer a long operating lifetime
without all the inconvenients associated with cast
iron distributors.
Also, the corrosion resistant material allows the
safe usage of thin plate and small parts, favoring
a better pour point density, a more precise and
uniform liquid distribution and less mist formation
due to lower tower cross section area obstruction.

Ceramic Packing
The tower packing for the drying and absorption surface so the required mass transfer from the gas
towers requires high mechanical and corrosion phase can occur. Clark Solutions has a line of
resistance, since a high acid load is distributed on random and structured ceramic packings to get all
the bed. Also, it must provide an effective contact these needs together.
