A mist eliminator cartridge generally comprises a roll of mesh in the form of a tube mounted to an annular flange and extending normally from a face of the flange. The face of the flange of the cartridge is positioned against an annular face positioned peripherally around the an upper gas outlet in a mist eliminator vessel. The roll of mesh extends into the vessel from the upper gas outlet. The cartridge provides a simple way to retrofit a vessel to prevent liquid carryover.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A cartridge type mist eliminator comprising:an annular flange having a first annular face and an oppositely facing second annular face, said annular flange having an outside diameter and an inside diameter;a tubularly shaped framework formed from rod stock attached to the first annular face and extending generally normally therefrom;a wire mesh wound around the tubularly shaped framework to form a roll of wire mesh having a plurality of layers and a hollow core, said roll being supported by the tubularly shaped framework and having an outside diameter which is less than the outside diameter of the annular flange, a first end adjacent to the first annular face, and a second end; anda generally disk-shaped plate positioned on the second end of the roll of mesh and generally parallel to the annular flange, wherein the mist eliminator has a longitudinal axis extending from the annular flange to the plate and is generally rotationally symmetric around the longitudinal axis. [2.] A mist eliminator as in claim 1 wherein the generally disk-shaped plate is substantially imperforate. [16.] A method for retrofitting a vessel to reduce liquid entrainment in a gas stream passing through the vessel from a gas inlet to an upper gas outlet, wherein an annular flange having an annular face facing away from the vessel is peripherally positioned around the upper gas outlet and defines an outside perimeter of the outlet, said method comprisingdetaching an exhaust pipe from the upper gas outlet, said exhaust pipe having an inlet end with a flange peripherally positioned around the inlet end;positioning a mist eliminator cartridge in the vessel so that the gas stream passes through a sidewall of the mist eliminator cartridge and liquid carried by the gas stream coalesces in the sidewall of the cartridge, whereby the gas stream flowing through the outlet carries less liquid entrainment than the gas stream flowing through the inlet,wherein the mist eliminator cartridge comprises a roll of mesh in the form of a tube mounted to an annular flange and extending normally from a face of the flange,wherein the face of the flange of the cartridge is positioned against the annular face positioned peripherally around the upper gas outlet, andthe roll of mesh extends into the vessel from the upper gas outlet, said method further comprisingreattaching the exhaust pipe to the upper gas outlet so that the flange at the inlet end of the exhaust pipe is in sealing engagement with a second face of the flange of the cartridge. A method as in claim 16 further comprising inserting the roll of mesh into the vessel through the upper gas outlet of the vessel. A method as in claim 16 whereinthe vessel has an upper end and a lower end and a longitudinal axis extends between the upper end and the lower end,the upper gas outlet is positioned at the upper end of the vessel and on the longitudinal axis of the vessel;the roll of mesh extends into the vessel coaxially with the longitudinal axis; anda plate is positioned at a lower end of the roll of mesh to prevent the gas stream from bypassing the sidewall of the roll of mesh.
