Hydrocyclone Performance Metrics Analysis

The hydrocyclone analysis summarizes the performance of a model xxxx MS hydrocyclone with 6mm thick rubber lining processing wastewater. It operated with an inlet size of 0.25 sq inches, overflow of 32NB SCH80 PVC, vortex finder of 0.265 inches and apex of 0.312 inches at a pressure drop of 33 PSI. The hydrocyclone separated 23.2% of solids from 5609 lbs/hr of feed into 3994 lbs/hr of underflow with a 10% solid concentration, recovering over 99% of solids above 10 microns in size.
