Practical Application of the Probabilistic‐Statistical Model of the Suspension Separation in Hydrocyclones

An effective practical approach that allows not only a significant reduction in the scope of practical experiments in the course of studying suspension separation processes in hydrocyclones, but also makes it possible to assess the intensity of random components of the processes and define the interrelation between such components and hydrodynamics of flows in a hydrocyclone is presented. Within the frames of the developed probabilistic‐statistical model of suspension separation in hydrocyclones on the basis of statistical self‐similarity properties, a relationship was found between determined and random components of the processes. This allowed transitioning from three‐parameter probability density functions for suspension particles in hydrocyclones to two‐parameter functions; thus significantly improving the efficiency of practical application of the developed model.

CFD simulation of an industrial hydrocyclone with Eulerian–Eulerian approach: A case study

In the present study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulation together with experimental field measurements was applied to optimize the performance of an industrial hydrocyclone at Sarcheshmeh copper complex. In the simulation, the Eulerian–Eulerian approach was used for solid and liquid phases, the latter being water. In this approach, nine continuous phases were considered for the solid particles with different sizes and one continuous phase for water. The continuity and momentum equations with inclusion of buoyancy and drag forces were solved by the finite volume method. The k–ɛ RNG turbulence model was used for modeling of turbulency. There was a good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data. After validation of the model accuracy, the effect of inlet solid percentage, pulp inlet velocity, rod inserting in the middle of the hydrocyclone and apex diameter on hydrocyclone performance was investigated. The results showed that by decreasing the inlet solid percentage and increasing the pulp inlet velocity, the efficiency of hydrocyclone increased. Decreasing the apex diameter caused an increase in the hydrocyclone efficiency.

不同流量条件下导叶式旋流器内部流动的数值模拟

应用Fluent软件和雷诺应力模型(RSM)对导叶式旋流器内部三维强旋湍流流动进行了数值模拟,考察了不同入口流量对旋流器内速度场的影响。研究结果表明,旋流器内径向速度远小于切向速度和轴向速度,锥段的切向速度明显小于柱段的切向速度;随着流量的增加,各向速度均增加,最大切向速度的分布直径并不随流量的变化而改变,且最大切向速度位于准自由涡与准强制涡的分界处。通过计算还发现,在旋流器圆柱段存在循环流和短路流,锥段的上行区域均小于柱段,而且截面越靠底流口,上行区域越小。     

Asymptotic Properties of a Probabilistic‐Statistical Model of Particle Classification in Hydrocyclones

The peculiarities of practical implementation of a probabilistic‐statistical model for a hydrodynamic stage of particle classification process of liquid‐solid polydisperse systems in cylinder‐conic hydrocyclones of small size have been investigated. Within reasonable assumptions, stationary solutions of the Fokker‐Planck‐Kolmogorov kinetic equation were obtained for the considered separation process. In order to describe changes in characteristics of suspension separation in hydrocyclones it was proposed to use stationary distributions, which parameters depend not only on hydraulic and dynamic features of flows inside an apparatus, but also are determined by relative magnitudes of the impact of particle classification and centrifugal forces in comparison with the intensity of random perturbations.     

Mini-hydrocyclones application in the reduction of the total oil-grease (TOG) in a prepared sample of produced water

The process of de-oiling produced water from offshore oil fields was evaluated using hydrocyclones. An experimental design was employed and the results were used to create an empirical model that describes the reduced separation efficiency as a function of different concentrations of infeed and the pressure drop. A study was made of the procedure for preparing the oil-water emulsions used here in order to reproduce the TOG of the produced water generated in oil field. A procedure to verify the operation of these devices demonstrated that six hydrocyclones operating in tandem can attain the legally acceptable concentration of oil in the treated effluent.
