In a hydrocyclone, a slurry enters through a tangential inlet, giving rise to a vortex in the stationary body. The particles and fluid are accelerated centrifugally and separation occurs in the radial direction. ... The primary function of the vortex finder is to control both the separation and the flow leaving the cyclone. The size of the ...

By inserting a tubular membrane, the resultant hydrocyclone has three outlets, namely the overflow dilute liquid, underflow concentrated liquid, and clear filtrate. This hydrocyclone can accomplish classification and filtration. The proposed hydrocyclone had a classification function equivalent to that of the conventional hydrocyclone.

For hydrocyclone separator, although there was no obvious large particle, it was feasible to improve the sludge sedimentation capacity, indicated by the sludge volume index. Moreover, the nitrogen removal performance was promoted by the separator with a nitrogen removal rate of 8.2 mg/(L·h), nearly two times of system without a separator.

1. Pressure at the inlet of the Hydrocyclone can tell you a lot. Pressure at the inlet of the Hydrocyclone is an important indicator of where the separation point (also called cut point or d50) will be. The separation point is the size at which a particle has a 50-50 chance of reporting either to the underflow or overflow.

The gas moves toward the center of the hydrocyclone with the oil and exits the unit through the reject port. A small amount of gas can improve performance, but too much gas disrupts the smooth flow of the oil core and bottlenecks the flow of oil out of the reject, Walsh said.
