HYDROCYCLONE SEPARATORS

Hydrocyclone Separators

Engineered separation equipment for liquid-solid applications, designed according to process conditions, particle-size distribution, solids loading and required separation performance.

Hydrocyclone flow and performance analysis
ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION

Separation performance starts with process conditions

Hydrocyclone selection and configuration depend on the interaction between flow conditions, particle characteristics, fluid properties and the required separation performance.

Prodisys integrates these variables into equipment sizing, engineering definition and technical validation for the application.

ENGINEERING BASIS

From process data to equipment definition

The engineering basis combines process information, equipment definition and performance evaluation.

01

Process Basis

  • Particle-size distribution and solids concentration.
  • Flow rate and operating pressure.
  • Temperature and fluid properties.
  • Solids properties relevant to the application.
02

Equipment Engineering

  • Sizing and equipment configuration.
  • Technical specification for the application.
  • Materials and wear-resistant linings when required.
  • Support structure and instrumentation when applicable.
03

Performance Validation

  • Engineering analysis according to the technical requirement.
  • CFD when appropriate to evaluate flow behavior.
  • Testing when required by the application.
  • Performance evaluation and engineering documentation.
PERFORMANCE

Engineering around measurable separation requirements

Equipment definition is developed around the operating conditions and the separation performance required for each application.

Particle behavior Particle-size distribution and solids properties are considered as part of the engineering basis.
Hydraulic conditions Flow rate, pressure and fluid properties define the operating conditions of the separator.
Wear considerations Materials and protective linings can be selected according to solids characteristics and service requirements.
Technical validation Analysis, simulation or testing can be incorporated when needed to support equipment and performance decisions.
