2. Description
A Hydrocyclone separates sand and other solid matter from water with very little
head loss and 90% or better efficiency. There is no head loss build up and no clogging
when the solids are separated. Hydrocyclones are easy to operate and maintain, and
have no moving parts or screens.
Versatility in system configurations and ease of installation are some of its great
advantages.
A Hydrocyclone uses a tangential injection flow process, enhancing the centrifugal
forces and moving solid particles outwards. The dispersed particles move downward
in a spiral path into an underflow chamber (sedimentation tank) while clean liquid
moves upwards to the center of the spiral, towards the top outlet.
A specially designed rubber insert protects the neck of the Hydrocyclone from
erosion and increases separation efficiency. The Sedimentation Tank can be drained
automatically with an automatic flushing kit (an electric valve, controller and small
command filter). Automatic flushing will not interfere with the proper functioning of
the Hydrocyclone. The Hydrocyclone has a 120-200 micron protective coating of extra
durable polyester applied electrostatically and oven cured after a sandblasting
process and heating the metal to a temperature of 356°F.
