Hydrocyclones Are Devices Used To Treat Produced Water In The Petroleum Industry

What is hydrocyclone used for?

A hydrocyclone is a high-throughput gravity separation device used for separating slurry particles based on particle weight. For example, particles of similar size but different specific gravity, or particles of different size but identical specific gravity.

What is hydrocyclone classification?

Hydrocyclone is a classification equipment widely used at present because of its high classification efficiency, small floor space and low price. It can be applied in the mineral classification, sewage treatment, slurry concentration, desilting and oil and water separation, etc.

Hydrocyclone 10" technical specification

What is a hydrocyclone in oil and gas?

Hydrocyclones are devices used to treat produced water in the petroleum industry. These gadgets are employed especially at offshore fields, due to restrictions of charge and space. Several factors may affect the performance of the oil/water separation by hydrocyclones

How does a hydrocyclone sand separator work?

A Hydrocyclone uses a tangential injection flow process, enhancing the centrifugal forces and moving solid particles outwards. The dispersed particles move downward in a spiral path into an underflow chamber (sedimentation tank) while clean liquid moves upwards to the center of the spiral, towards the top outlet.

How does a oil hydrocyclone work?

Hydrocyclone Oil Separators apply extreme centrifugal force to separate oil particles from wastewater. A Hydrocyclone's primary construction comprises of a conical shaped chamber. This chamber has two exit outlets located at each end with one wastewater inflow inlet on the side.
