WaterPanel™ | Mist Elimination
WaterPanel™ electrostatic droplet collection technology can capture drift droplets and prevent their release to the environment in applications such as cooling towers and carbon capture. This helps with permitting, health and safety, and cost optimization.

Key Benefits
Emissions Prevention
Drift droplets from cooling towers, carbon capture systems, and other industrial processes using sprays and mist are the main source of polluting emissions. They are often regulated by air permits. WaterPanel™ captures drift and keeps emissions below acceptable standards.
Health & Safety
Drift droplets are often contaminated with corrosive and toxic chemicals such as water treatment chemicals or carbon capture absorbents. They also carry bacteria such as Legionella. By preventing the release of these droplets, WaterPanel™ protects the health of nearby communities, the surrounding environment, and the durability of plant equipment.
Cost Savings
Drift losses carry significant amounts of water and expensive chemical additives. WaterPanel™ captures and recycles the drift losses to reduce the need to acquire and treat new water and to buy more chemicals. It allows cost-effective and sustainable operations.
How it works
The technology uses proprietary electrodes to generate an electrical charge on the liquid droplets. An array of porous meshes with the opposite polarity is placed between the electrodes. When droplets are charged, electrostatic forces attract them to the meshes where they deposit. The internal sizing and configuration are customized for optimal performance in specific applications. Unit materials are highly durable and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable to most applications.
