What is a Hydrocyclone?

A hydrocyclone, also known as a cyclone separator, is a static device that uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a liquid stream based on their size, density, and shape. Hydrocyclones do not have moving parts.

Hydrocyclones are simple. Hydrocyclones are reliable. Hydrocyclones are cost-effective. That is why hydrocyclones are widely used for solid-liquid separation, mineral processing, and wastewater treatment.

A hydrocyclone is a static separation device with no moving parts that utilizes fluid pressure to classify or separate particles within a liquid slurry. The process begins when slurry is pumped tangentially at high velocity into the cylindrical upper section, creating a powerful primary vortex.

The immense centrifugal force generated by this vortex throws heavier, denser, or coarser particles toward the inner wall. These solids spiral down the conical section and discharge through a narrow opening at the bottom, known as the apex, forming a concentrated stream called the underflow. Meanwhile, a low-pressure core in the center of the cyclone causes most of the liquid and the lighter, finer particles to reverse direction, forming an inner vortex. This secondary vortex travels upward and exits through a central pipe at the top, the vortex finder, as a more dilute stream known as the overflow. This elegant and efficient design makes the hydrocyclone an indispensable tool for separation and classification in industries such as mining, oil and gas, and wastewater treatment due to its simplicity, low cost, and high throughput.

What are the Different Types of Hydrocyclones?

Hydrocyclones come in various designs, including liquid-liquid hydrocyclones, solid-liquid hydrocyclones, and multi-hydrocyclone systems. The right type depends on the application.

Consider these types when selecting a hydrocyclone:

Solid-Liquid Hydrocyclones: These hydrocyclones are for separating solid particles from a liquid stream. A sand cyclone is a type of solid-liquid hydrocyclone.
Liquid-Liquid Hydrocyclones: These hydrocyclones are for separating two immiscible liquids, like oil and water. A hydrocyclone oil water separator nasa ilalim ng kategoryang ito.
Multi-Hydrocyclone Systems: These systems use multiple hydrocyclones in parallel to increase capacity.

At ZONEDING, our engineers analyze your specific slurry and process goals to select the perfect Hydrocyclonnes.

How Does a Hydrocyclone Work? (Hydro cyclone work principle)

The hydrocyclone work principle involves injecting a slurry tangentially into a cone-shaped vessel. The resulting centrifugal force separates particles, with heavier particles moving to the wall and exiting through the apex (underflow), while lighter particles exit through the vortex finder (overflow).

Here is a breakdown of how a hydro cyclone works:

Feed Entry: The slurry enters the hydrocyclone tangentially under pressure.
Centrifugal Force: This creates a swirling vortex inside the cone.
Paghihiwalay: Heavier, coarser particles are forced to the outside walls. The coarser particles spiral down to the apex and discharge as underflow.
Overflow Discharge: Lighter, finer particles move towards the center and exit through the vortex finder as overflow.

What is Hydroclone Used for? (Hydrocyclone Application)

Hydrocyclones are used for various applications, including mineral processing, wastewater treatment, oil and gas production, and chemical processing. The hydrocyclone application depends on the type of materials being separated.
