This article presents a rectangular separator, developed by the authors, for purification of a multiphase gas flow from the finely dispersed particles with a diameter of up to 10 µm. In order to increase the separation process efficiency, a research was conducted to determine the optimum thickness of I-beam elements within the separator at different values of the flow inlet rate and length of I-beam elements. It was found that change in the wall thickness of elements leads to a change in the flow structure, which causes a decrease in the dust particles collection efficiency.
