  2. Hydrocyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocyclone

    A hydrocyclone comprises a cylindrical shaped feed part with tangential feed; an overflow part with vortex finder; a conical part with an apex. A cyclone has no moving parts. Working principle

  3. Cyclonic separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclonic_separation

    When removing particulate matter from liquid, a hydrocyclone is used; while from gas, a gas cyclone is used. Rotational effects and gravity are used to separate mixtures of solids and fluids. The method can also be used to separate fine droplets of liquid from a gaseous stream.

  4. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

    Oil removal hydrocyclones, or de-oiling hydrocyclones, are very different in geometry, design and operation compared to the more common solid removal hydrocyclones. When correctly designed and operated oil removal Hydrocyclones are very useful for removing both large oil droplets and smaller emulsified oil droplets in a broad range of ...

  5. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    Separators work on the principle that the three components have different densities, which allows them to stratify when moving slowly with gas on top, water on the bottom and oil in the middle. Any solids such as sand will also settle in the bottom of the separator.

  6. Downhole oil–water separation technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhole_oil–water...

    Hydrocyclone DOWS systems [11] were developed to speed up the separation and production rate. [7] Hydrocyclone type DOWS systems usually use electric submersible pumps to overcome any pressure head differential needed to inject water into another zone. Additionally, the supplemental draw of fluids into the wellbore by the pump has been known to ...

  7. Hydrodynamic separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_separator

    Installation of a hydrodynamic separator along an Arizona highway. In civil engineering (specifically hydraulic engineering), a hydrodynamic separator (HDS), also called a swirl separator, is a stormwater management device that uses cyclonic separation to control water pollution.

  8. Spray drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_drying

    The spray drying technique was first described in 1860 with the first spray dryer instrument patented by Samuel Percy in 1872. [citation needed] With time, the spray drying method grew in popularity, at first mainly for milk production in the 1920s and during World War II, when there was a need to reduce the weight and volume of food and other materials.

  9. Mechanical screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_screening

    Mechanical screening, often just called screening, is the practice of taking granulated or crushed ore material and separating it into multiple grades by particle size.. This practice occurs in a variety of industries such as mining and mineral processing, agriculture, pharmaceutical, food, plastics, and recycling.
