Research On Structural Optimization Design & Performance Of Compound Hydrocyclone

Compounding hydrocyclone is introduced in this paper as a kind of new-type oil/water separation device. At present, there are two kinds of oil/water separation devices, which are suitable for the separation: static hydrocyclone and dynamic hydrocyclone. Static hydrocyclone has had the ripe technology on its structure design and its compounding style (as patent ZL96210084.6 and ZL98211681.0) which lead to its certain popularization and application in the oil field. Through the research and practice in recent years, dynamic hydrocyclone has also been a kind of separation devices with comparatively ripe technology. These two kinds of hydrocyclones have their own merits and shortcomings because of their difference cause of the creation to the rotating flow field for the separating liquid. Compound hydrocyclone is a kind of new-type oil/water separation devices by compounding these two kinds of hydrocyclones organically. The high-speed rotation of the flow liquid establishes the foundation for expanding the handling capacity of a single static hydrocyclone and raising the separation efficiency. At the same time, compound hydrocyclone can eliminate the influence of vibration by electric motor and tolerance manufactured etc. compared to the dynamic hydrocyclone, owing to the stationary part of static hydrocyclone adopted.A new structure style is offered in the vortex separation technology domain by the optimization design and the study on the performance of the compounding hydrocyclone, and it can make the development of the compound hydrocyclone further along the road to commercialization.
