The hydrocyclone is a simple piece of equipment that uses fluid pressure to generate centrifugal force and a flow pattern which can separate particles or droplets from a liquid medium. These particles or droplets must have a sufficiently different density relative to the medium in order to achieve separation. The flow pattern in a hydrocyclone ...

Hydrocyclones demonstrate a trait that is useful for gold mills—minerals with higher specific gravities have a progressively finer cut-size (whether this is desired or not). In plants with free-milling gold, this leads to gold concentrating in the milling circuits (see Figure 17.13).On a size-by-size basis, concentrations of up to 100 times can occur in …
It looks as if one D15 hydrocyclone could handle your flowrate at 10 to 20 psi pressure drop, in case you allow particles of less than 50 - 110 microns to be present in the clear water, or else, you should go for a cluster of D6 hydrocyclones (5 or 6 of them) if your overflow cut point for particle size is 35 - 75 microns.

In this paper, the objective was set to achieve 80% solid recovery in the underflow with a 45% solid concen-tration from a feed of 20% solid concentration according to dewatering purpose. This target was set to comparable to the plant requirement. The simulation was done for a 100TPH throughput hydrocyclone.
3rd October 2022. Selecting the correctly sized hydrocyclone for your application is of utmost importance for achieving the target operational performance and output of your operation. In Part 4 of our Hydrocyclones 101 series, Chris Lowe, Process Engineer, discusses the factors to consider in the selection process.
Hydrocyclones are an important class of solid/liquid separation equipments. In this work, three Bradley hydrocyclones with 15,30 and 60 mm diameters were used.

Based on this selection criteria it would be common practice to offer, twelve smaller 400 mm diameter hydrocyclones to meet the performance requirements. Through the reduction in pressure and the use of specific sets of cyclone fittings, the smaller hydrocyclone will cut coarser allowing it to meet the classification target in the overflow.
Tailored design of hydrocyclone for biotechnology and food processing. Hydrocyclones provide a promising low-cost technology to separate, purify, and/or concentrate particles of various types in biotechnology and food processing. However, apparent gaps exist between technology exploration and industrial applications.
Hydrocyclones continue to widen their appeal to engineers; besides their traditional role in mineral processing they now attract a lot of attention in chemical engineering, the oil and gas industry, power generation, the food industry, textiles, metal working, waste water treatment, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and other industries.
The CFD model has provided a means to evaluate the effect of design changes on component wear. The tool has the demonstrated ability to keep track of the number, angle and magnitude of particle collisions on the hydrocyclone internal surface. The CFD model does have some notable limitations.

1. Pressure at the inlet of the Hydrocyclone can tell you a lot. 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 either to the underflow or overflow.
