Centrifugal Technology Hydrocyclone Separator Sludge Dewatering Treatment
A Hydrocyclone , or more commonly referred to as a cyclone, is simply a configured pipe tee. It requires certain elements in its design in order to perform a separation of material based on size gradation, but a Hydrocyclone is straightforward.
The mystery of a Hydrocyclone comes from the inability to see what is happening inside. The following tips can help you get some insight into what your Hydrocyclone is doing.
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.
Inner Diameter (mm) | Overflow Pipe (mm) | Underflow Pipe (mm) | Cone Angle (°) | Feeding Pressure (MPa) | Capacity (m3/h) | Particle Size (μm) |
750 | 240.260.280 | 120.140.160 | 20 | 0.03-0.4 | 400-500 | 74-250 |
660 | 180.200.220.240 | 80.110.150 | 20 | 0.03-0.4 | 250-360. | 74-220 |
610 | 160.180.200.220 | 90.100.110 | 20 | 0.03-0.4 | 250-360 | 74-200 |
500 | 130.140.160.220 | 35.45.50.65.70. 80.90.100 | 10.20.25 | 0.03-0.4 | 140-220 | 74-200 |
Under the pressure, the feeding slurry enters into the hydrocyclone along the pipe. Big size particles throw to the tank wall by centrifugal force, and flows down under the external swirling flow force. Big sized particle settling product discharged from the bottom outlet. While the fine particles flows up by internal swirling force, and fine particles product discharged from the overflow.
