A Research into Experimental Setup for Multi Hydrocyclone and its Performance Comparison

Multi hydrocyclone arranged in parallel and series manner would increases the performance when compare to the single hydrocyclone to investigate the multi hydrocyclone experiment. A hydrocyclone is a device that can successfully split multi-stage combination of solid particles present in liquid, based on the principle centrifugal force. Its application in mining, textile, petroleum, chemical and textile industries. In this research 100mm hydrocyclone used for separate the particles from fluid and quartz sand is used as particles (150 microns). When hydrocyclone arranged in series, the output from vertex finder of first hydrocyclone has been fetched an input for second hydrocyclone in series. When the Multi hydrocyclones are connected in parallel the both hydrocyclones are connected by a single connection through a bend pipe. Multi-hydrocyclones are more efficient compared to single hydro cyclones. The performance of the multi hydro cyclone is determined by the recovery efficiency. The hydrocyclone are arranged in series and parallel. The energy consumption of the multi hydro cyclone is reduced as two hydrocyclones were operated using a single pump. Experimentally a setup is required. This presents the research work on development of the single setup where both the arrangement (Parallel and Series) can be investigated.
