Abstract:Hydrocyclones are used to separate solid-liquid suspensions by centrifugal sedimentation. Due to its operational simplicity, small size, low maintenance and acquisition costs, its use is widespread in the petrochemical, mineral, food industry and other sectors. The geometry of hydrocyclones has a fundamental influence on separation performance as well as on-site operating conditions such as pressure drop, percentage of solids in the feed and fluid rheology. The optimization of the hydrocyclones operation is pa… Show more
