Mist Eliminator & Demister Pad Installation for Oil & Gas Companies

Entrained liquid that gets past your mist eliminator ends up in downstream equipment. Tray-Tec removes, replaces and installs mesh and vane mist eliminators that separate liquid droplets from gas and vapor streams, fitted to the manufacturer’s drawings so your vessel separates the way it was engineered to.

Our SERVICES

Built on Safety, Backed by Experience.

Confined Space Specialists

Mist eliminator work happens inside the vessel. Our crews are IDLH-trained, confined-space-certified and equipped with their own rescue teams, so you never have to pause a job waiting on outside safety support. We treat every vessel entry as a critical operation.

No Gaps, No Bypass

Gaps, damaged elements or incorrectly positioned sections let vapor travel around the separation media instead of through it. Our crews inspect the support area, identify each mist eliminator section, move the components into the vessel and position them exactly as the manufacturer’s drawings specify, so all of the gas passes through the media.

Mesh or Vane, Installed to Your Design

Mesh pads capture droplets in layers of knitted wire or similar media, while vane systems use shaped passages that redirect the gas stream to separate the liquid. The right configuration depends on your process conditions, vessel geometry, gas velocity and liquid loading, so Tray-Tec installs to your OEM and project requirements, not a generic standard.

Our Accomplishments

Two Decades Inside Towers, Reactors & Drums

Tray-Tec has been installing process internals since 2005. We’ve worked inside distillation columns, absorbers, strippers, fractionators, deethanizers, depropanizers and glycol contactors across refineries, NGL plants, chemical facilities and midstream processing units.

Our crews don’t just show up with tools. They bring the know-how that only comes from years of work inside real vessels: handling separation media without damaging it, positioning sections to the drawings, reading vendor drawings on the fly and flagging issues before they become shutdowns.

We operate across 40+ U.S. states and have completed international projects in South Africa, South America and beyond. As an ISNetworld, Avetta and PEC compliant contractor and a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Tray-Tec meets the prequalification requirements for major operators from day one.
