Varun Engg. Candle filter Mist Eliminators are widely used in plants of:
Sulphuric Acid.
Phosphoric Acid.
Caustic Chlorine Units.
Hydrochloric Acid.
Fluorine Units.
Nitric Acid.
Manufactured throughout India with the correct and optimum materials of construction for the needs of duty and life, our specification is guaranteed. Glass fibre or polyester fibre filter elements, stainless steel, titanium, or resinated GRP cages are options to make certain that you get the best performance.
Where finer or submicron mist is a problem, the installation of a Candle Filter can remove 100% of mist >1 micron and 98% of mist <1 micron.
Our Candle Filters use a combination of impingement for removing particles >1-2 microns and diffusion for finer particles where Brownian motion becomes increasingly predominant.
WHAT IS A FIBRE BED MIST ELIMINATOR
A Candle Filter Mist Eliminator is a fibre bed into which Mist laden gases enter, and out of which emerges a clean gas stream and a separated liquid stream. Fibre packing in the bed is Engineered to provide High Separation Efficiencies.
As indicated, the bed consists of special fibres, which are densely packed between two screens. Mist-laden gases enter from the side of the bed and pass in a horizontal direction through the bed. Clean gases emerge from the bed and rise to exit from the mist eliminator. Separated liquids are directed downwards and towards the outer screen and ultimately drain down the outer edge of the bed.
Within a chemical process plant, it is necessary to remove acid mist and droplets from the gas stream which otherwise:-
Increase atmospheric emissions

Chlorine, Caustic and Hydrogen can be produced using electrolysis on common salts such as Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride. Electrolysis takes place and brine is extracted via Anode and Cathode cells on either side of the membrane.
Gas stream loaded with fine mist particles will enter the bed of densely packed fibers from one side, while from the other side clean gas will emerge. The liquid separated by either Brownian or Impaction methodology will drain off by gravity.
The liquid separated by either Brownian or Impaction methodology will drain off by gravity.

Candle Filter Mist Eliminators that help factories keep their air clean and machines safe. At Varun Engineering, the filter uses are specially designed to remove even the tiniest droplets, dust, and mist from industrial gases, that makes the air clean for workers and better for the environment. With products, industries can protect expensive machines, improve the quality of their final products, and save money on repairs.
The filters are basically made from strong, long-lasting materials and are easy to install, maintain, and replace. They also use less energy, helping factories run efficiently. Trusted by industries worldwide, Varun Engineering ensures reliable, eco-friendly, and smart solutions for cleaner gas and smoother operations.
If you ever notice a factory chimney . Where smoke, steam, or mist comes out of it. In a factory chimney you can see smoke but it;s looks like smoke however is actually a mix of tiny liquid droplets and dust particles in the air. These small droplets might not be harmful, but they can easily damage machines, pollute the air, and even make the final product in industries impure.
It is a bit of a problem which can occur, so to solve this problem, industries use a special device called a Candle Filter Mist Eliminator. You can think of it like a very smart filter that catches tiny droplets and dirt from gases, making the air clean and safe.
In this guide, we will discuss what a Candle Filter Mist Eliminator is, how it works, its features, uses.
A Candle Filter Mist Eliminator is an industrial device used to clean gases by removing mist, liquid droplets, and tiny dust particles.
Factories and power plants often release gases during their processes. These gases are not always clean; they may carry small liquid droplets, oil mist, chemicals, or fine dirt. If these impurities are not removed, they can:
Damage expensive machines,
Reduce the purity of the final product, and
It causes air pollution.
Just imagine you are drinking juice while drinking you feel pulps in your mouth. and if you don’t like that then definitely you wanna remove it. so you might use a strainer to remove it. In the same way, industries use Candle Filter Mist Eliminators to remove unwanted droplets or dirt from gases.Without this device:
Machines get rusted.
Final products lose purity.
Air pollution increases.
Factories spend more money on repairs.
So, using a Candle Filter Mist Eliminator helps industries save money, protect the environment, and keep products safe.
The work is simple but smart.
Gas with Mist Enters– Dirty gas carrying tiny liquid droplets enters the filter housing.
Candle Elements Trap Mist– The candle-shaped filters have special surfaces that catch and hold the droplets.
Droplets Combine– The small droplets gather and become larger.
Clean Gas Exits– The liquid falls down, and clean, dry gas exits from the other side. Note:Dirty gas in → Mist removed → Clean gas out.
Candle-shaped filter elements
High surface area for better mist capture
Works with very tiny droplets (even less than 1 micron)
Long-lasting and strong material
Compact design with easy maintenance
Low pressure drop → saves energy
Cleaner gas output– Removes unwanted droplets.
Protects machines– Prevents corrosion and damage.
Saves money– Less maintenance cost.
Improves efficiency– Better production output.
Eco-friendly– It helps keep the air clean and removes harmful smoke or gases..
Chemical plants– To clean gases in chemical reactions.
Oil & gas refineries– To separate mist from gases.
Petrochemical plants– To improve product purity.
Power plants– To remove droplets from exhaust.
Fertilizer plants– To keep processes clean.
Pollution control systems– To make air cleaner.
Le’ts make it easier to understand and think about your kitchen chimney. When you cook, oil droplets and smoke go up. If your chimney has a filter, it traps the oil and lets only clean air pass.
In the same way , the Candle Filter Mist Eliminator works, but for big factories and gases instead of kitchen smoke.
It’s depend on the industry, they can be made from:
Stainless Steel– Strong and long lasting.
Plastic– Lightweight and chemical-resistant.
Ceramic/Glass Fiber– For very high temperatures.
There are other mist eliminators too, like mesh pads or vane type, but candle filters are special because:
They catch smaller droplets.
They last longer.
They are easy to replace.
They save more energy.
Wash with water or cleaning liquid.Simple inspection process. Replace candles if damaged.
Removes droplets as small as 1 micron
Strong and stable.
Customizable sizes
Saves energy with low pressure drop
Increases product quality
Protects environment

The Candle Filter Mist Eliminator is a simple but powerful product that helps industries achieve clean gas, safe equipment, cost savings, and eco-friendly operations.
Just like a strainer removes pulp from juice, this filter removes mist from gas. Easy to use, long-lasting, and highly efficient—it is the smart choice for industries worldwide.
If your factory needs better gas cleaning, then a Candle Filter Mist Eliminator is the right solution.
