The Science and Technology of Hydrocyclones

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. Important trade-offs must be considered when designing a hydrocyclone.

The Top 5 Things You Need To Know About Hydrocyclones

A Hydrocyclone can be modified to make a dry underflow while maintaining a high separation efficiency. A Hydrocyclone uses an air core, which forms at the apex and extends up to the vortex finder. The formation of this air core is paramount to making a separation, and if it collapses, the separation efficiency dramatically drops. ...
