Aerosols are suspended liquid or solid particles ranging in diameter from the submicron range to the 10 to 20µm size. Kimre offers the AEROSEP® Multi-Stage Aerosol Separation System to collect submicron particulates which are hygroscopic using the principles of condensation scrubbing. Aerosols as small as 0.2 microns in diameter pass through gas conditioning stages and particle growth stage within the AEROSEP® system before being collected by a final entrainment separator stage. The typical AEROSEP® system has four stages:
Removal of incoming particles larger than 3 microns in diameter
Growth of incoming submicron particles to approximately one micron using flux force or nucleated condensation

Coalescing the 1 micron particles to approximately 10-12 microns

Final removal of the re-entrained droplets from stage 3
