UNSPSC 40161705: Demister pad

Demister and demister-pad work like mist eliminator. It differs in the kind of filter media used. For demisters, the media is wire mesh; for mist eliminators, it is fiber glass, wool, etc.

UNSPSC 40161705 Demister pad (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity the source presents. Recent solicitations tagged under this code address water and wastewater treatment facility construction, rehabilitation, and equipment procurement—secondary clarifier rebuilds, gravity thickener replacements, blend tank construction, drive shaft replacement, and aeration system installation—rather than demister pads or the vapor-liquid separation products the code nominally covers. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging misalignment in the source data or that demister pads represent an incidental component within larger water infrastructure projects rather than a distinct procurement focus.

Water and wastewater authorities across Florida, Georgia, and Oregon dominate the recent activity, with issuing bodies including Collier County, Cobb County, the Macon Water Authority, the City of Rome, Seminole County, the City of Pendleton, Hillsborough County, Great Lakes Water Authority, and the City of Holly Hill. Recent solicitations include sealed-bid construction contracts (Collier County's South County Regional Water Treatment Plant blend tank rehabilitation, ITB due September 21, 2026 and July 22, 2026; Macon Water Authority's gravity thickener and clarifier rebuild, ITB due October 20, 2026; City of Pendleton secondary clarifier rehabilitation, ITB due June 25, 2026), design-build qualifications (City of Rome secondary clarifier rehabilitation, RFQ due November 3, 2026), master task order RFQs for engineering services (Cobb County water and wastewater facilities planning and engineering, RFQ due October 22, 2026), and sole-source notices (Hillsborough County aeration systems, $5.371 million over five years; City of Holly Hill drive shaft replacement, $113,067).
