The HILCO vent mist eliminator is the answer to economically reclaiming the oily vapor found in the air stream of vents of lubrication oil systems on large, high-speed rotating equipment. These include gas turbines, turbo compressors, reciprocating engines and gearboxes.
The vent mist eliminator improves safety by eliminating oily residue cause by setting oil mist on engine room floors, stairways, etc., keeps the environment clean and helps prevent exterior oil contamination of buildings and grounds. There are currently three versions available: Blower Assisted, Mist Eliminator with Heat Exchanger, and a Coalescer-Only model. All models have DM type coalescers and eliminate oil mist with an efficiency of 99.97% removal of all airborne contaminant regardless of particle size.
Our vent mist eliminator collects, coalesces and filters the mist, significantly reducing visible oil plume. The captured oil is returned to the sump or crankcase, quickly and efficiently for reuse. Available in sizes and models to fit your specific application, HILCO vent mist eliminators are virtually maintenance free.
Hilliard also makes HILCO-quality replacements for other brands of mist eliminators.
PME Series, Mist Eliminators
(125-3,000 scfm)
Air auditors always consider PME Series Mist Eliminators due to the 0.5 psig wetted pressure drop of the filter element. The unique housing and filter design is becoming the solution of choice for compressed air users who have decided to reduce the air compressor horsepower required to maintain stable air pressures in their plant.

Dedicated vent port for demand type drains
The units are constructed of corrosive resistant materials including PVC and CPVC and can be designed as horizontal or vertical configuration.
Chrome mist eliminators are commonly used for abatement devices in chrome plating shops containing hard, decorative, and anodizing processes. Chromic acid mist is removed from exhaust to levels below the EPA Mact standard and California requirements through KCH's Chrome Mist Eliminator.
KCH's extensive involvement with EPA regulation and the chrome plating industry has allowed KCH to build the most effective and efficient chrome mist eliminator available to chrome plating shops.
Large volumes of lubricating oil are necessary to cool and protect the internal working surfaces of rotating machinery. These conditions can create an oil mist has traditionally been vented to atmosphere. Vokes Oil Mist Eliminators are designed to capture this mist to help meet increasingly demanding environmental and safety legislation. Failure to deal with oil mist can in worst cases represent a significant explosion hazard or, at the very least, the oil can condense on surfaces to subsequently attract dirt.
Available Ranges and Applications
Vokes MM / MMF Oil mist being vented to atmosphere
Oil within a machine is subjected to high temperatures and pressures during operation, which can result in the creation of oil mist. The mist typically consists of oil droplets ranging in size from 10µm down to 0.03µm and when vented into the atmosphere is normally visible as a blue-white smoke.
Vokes has researched the factors influencing oil mist emissions with the aim of satisfying the ever evolving and tightening environmental legislation that frequently refers to 'no visible emissions'. We have developed an efficient and cost effective solution to oil mist control.
Vokes Oil Mist Eliminators are available for airflow rates from 12m³/h (7cfm) to 4000m³/h (2330 cfm), selection of which type depends on application and whether a back pressure is acceptable within the machine.
