Our Hydrocyclone Separators utilise Hydrocyclone technology to separate oil and/or small solids from contaminated water. The skids have their hydrocyclones configured in either manifolded or vesseled arrangements. Typically pumping is via a low shear pump and pre screening via our clean on line strainer. Spinclear make separators to order so they come in many different sizes and configurations.
A Liquid Liquid Hydrocyclone separates out particles that are a) insoluble and b) lighter than the bulk fluid. The bulk fluid is nearly always water and the particles separated are nearly always oil or fat droplets. As such these cyclones are often called Deoiling Hydrocyclones. In a deoiling hydrocyclone, the oil or fat is forced to the core and the water to the bore of the cyclone. Cleaned water exits at the opposite end to the inlet whilst the reject stream (separated oil / fat in a water flush) is pushed out a small orifice at the inlet end.
A solid liquid hydrocyclone separates out particles that are a) insoluble and b) heavier than the bulk fluid. The bulk fluid is nearly always water but the particles separated can be quite varied, though it’s often are sand or similar. As such these cyclones are often called desanding hydrocyclones. In a Desanding Hydrocyclone the heavy particles are forced to the bore and the water to the core of the cyclone. Cleaned water exits at the same end to the inlet whilst the underflow stream (separated solids in a water flush) is pushed out a small orifice at the other end.
A Deoiling Desanding Hydrocyclone seperator combines both seperation processes for the best possible results. Our systems always run at a constant flowrate and thus have a constant pressure regime. Generally, inlet pressure for the deoiler is 450 kPa and outlet pressure 160 kPa, which then drives the desanding hydrocyclones.
