Final microalgal biomass concentration was increased by 7.13 times in 11 minutes of operation time using our designed hydrocyclone (HC-1). We expect that this elegant approach can surmount the shortcomings of other microfluidic technologies such as clogging, low-throughput, cost and difficulty in operation.

To the best of authors' knowledge, although the first patent on the hydrocyclone is about 128 years old, to date, there are just a few reviews on hydrocyclones (Table 1), and marginal effort has been attempted to comprehensively review and summarize enhanced-separation hydrocyclone technologies developed by …
The MHC™ Series hydrocyclone's industry leading flow rate creates an optimal flow even with given pressure drops. Wear resistant liners are also incorporated for an increased uptime and extended the lifecycle of the parts overall. With the single component conical section, MHC™ hydrocyclone provides an ease of maintenance reducing downtime.

This D50C (base) is the micron size that a "standard cyclone" can achieve operating under the base conditions and is given in Figure 5 or calculated from Equation 3. For example, a 25.4 cm (10 in.) diameter cyclone has a base D50C point of …
Cyclone Feed Pump. A 5″ x 4″ SRL-C Pump delivers a minus 1/8″ screen undersize and rod mill discharge at a rate of 288 g.p.m. of 20% solids pulp (270 T/24hr.) to a cyclone requiring inlet pressures to 44 p.s.i. with a vertical lift of 54 feet. The total dynamic head pumped varies from 100 to 150 feet, with 110 feet being the normal operation.
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 …
26.3.2.3 Inline Cyclonic Separator. The hydrocyclone-based separator is a compact liquid-liquid separator. The unit consists of one or more axial flow cyclones with fixed swirl elements, as shown in Figure 26-19. The mixed oil-water flow enters the pipe spool via the inlet nozzle and moves into the inlet compartment.
Based on first principles of hydrocyclone theory and equations, this quasi design software lets you enter all cyclone design parameters such as cut size, D50, …
Hydrocyclone Technology: Then and Now. Download PDF Copy. By Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. Sep 7 2017. Image Credit: Zern Liew/Shutterstock. Hydrocyclones, otherwise referred to as cyclones, are mechanical separation devices that utilize centripetal or centrifugal forces within a vortex in order to sort particles present …
To fix this, increase the density of solids feeding the hydrocyclone, or decrease the size of the apex. The apex will be the fastest wearing part of most units. When the apex wears out, the opening gets larger, therefore allowing more water to go out the underflow. To fix this, replace the apex with a new one.
The vast majority of current research on hydrocyclone field centrifugal separation focuses on low concentration fluids having volume fraction less than 3%. For high-concentration fluids having volume fractions greater than 10%, which are often encountered in engineering, the law governing particle motion and the classification …

The dynamics of hydrocyclones is complex, because it is a multiphase flow problem that involves interaction between a discrete phase and multiple continuum phases. The performance of hydrocyclones is evaluated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and it is characterized by the pressure drop, split water ratio, and particle …
Likewise, the volumetric flow rate of the slurry to the hydrocyclone can be expressed by (7) Q f = F 2 P 0.56 D c 0.21 D i 0.53 h 0.16 (D u 2 + D o 2) 0.49 exp (0.0031 C v) Here, like F 1, F 2 is a material-specific constant that needs to be determined from tests with the feed material and P is the pressure drop across the cyclone (kPa).
10.1.1 Pulp Feeding Tank. In general, the hydrocyclone feed is conveyed by a pumping system coupled to the pulp discharge from a mill. The pumping system consists of a tank that receives the pulp discharge from the grinding mill, a centrifugal pump driven by an electric motor, a transmission system of pulleys and trapezoidal belts and a …
An Introduction to Basic Hydrocyclone Operation. A cyclone is a piece of process equipment capable of handling large volumes of slurry and classifying it based on differences in size and/or specific gravity. Based on these differences a cyclone will then produce two products – an underflow and an overflow.

Hydrocyclone models made of moulded polyamide have the advantage of being economical to manufacture and avoid the hassle of oxidation that can occur with steel products. The Alfa polyamide hydrocyclones can accept a flow rate of up to 18 m3/h. The filtration is effective on materials larger than 100 µm with 80% of these materials being ...
Basics of a Hydrocyclone. Hydrocyclones (also referred to as cyclones) are an efficient way to separate slurries. With no moving parts, they depend on the feed pressure, or velocity, into the cyclone to generate a centripetal force. This centripetal force allows the cyclone to separate coarse or dense particles from fine particles.
