Abstract

The parameters that affect the reject ratio of a 35 mm liquid-liquid hydrocyclone in test runs that use water alone to obtain flow data-parameters such as inlet pressure, pressure differential ratio, inlet flow rate and reject orifice diameter are explored. Study of the observed relationships indicates that of the parameters listed, only reject orifice diameter and pressure differential ratio have a direct correlation to a liquid-liquid hydrocyclone's reject ratio performance. An equation is presented that uses these two parameters to model the reject ratio performance of several reject orifice sizes. The most accurate model presented uses pressure differential ratio as the parameter for a basic equation form, which has a different set of coefficients for each reject orifice size. The practical application of the resulting relationships is discussed and the analysis presented graphically.
