This paper tends to investigate the performance of a separator cyclone used in cement industries in Iran. This investigation was performed using CFD modeling, which is validated by other valid studies. Separator cyclone performance includes of two important parameters as pressure drop and collection ratio. In this presented study, the pressure drop has been considered to assess the performance ...

Cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. Static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) and more recently Vertical Roller Mills (VRM) units in cement plants ...

"Pre-separator plus1D2D cyclone" and "pre-separator plus 1D3D cyclone" systems were tested with ground gin trash, which contains 10.35% lint fiber and 5.49% fine dust (less than 100 μm). Test results indicate that the pre-separator collected gin trash at over 97% collection efficiency. There were no significant differences in emission concentrations and overall collection efficiencies from thes...

This study evaluated the separation efficiency and developed a pressure drop model for a multicyclone separator used for natural gas purification. The collection and grade efficiencies of a multicyclone separator with 15 single cyclone separators were evaluated at inlet velocities of 6–24 m/s and particle concentrations of 30–2000 mg/m at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The experimen...

The paper presents Design development of cement industry cyclone based on CFD along with pilot plant trials. Based on simulation of laboratory scale cyclone as expressed in literature and in-house pilot plant experiments, Reynolds stress model has been found to predict the turbulent flow field, pressure drop and particle collection efficiency closely as compared to other standard turbulence mod...

Dense medium coal processing technology has been widely used in coal preparation industries in the world since it is the most accurate and efficient coal preparation process to obtain clean coal with a highest possible yield. Separation of coal and impurities using this technology is based on density differences. In literature, a number of mathematical models exist for dense medium cyclones. On...

A Rice Sheller is used for obtaining polished white rice from paddy. There are about 3000 Rice Shellers in Punjab and 50000 in India. During the process of shelling lot of dust is emitted from different unit operations like paddy silo, paddy shaker, bucket elevators, huskers, paddy separator etc. These dust emissions have adverse effect on the health of the workers and the wear and tear of the ...

The Gas Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separator is an attractive compact separator alternative to the conventional vessel-type two-phase flow separator. Thus, it is important to develop predictive tools for design and to be able to improve the technology of the GLCC. Previous studies on the GLCC have focused on mechanistic models capable of predicting the operational envelope for liquid car...

In order to study the effect of dust outlet geometry on the performance of cyclone separators, the gas-solid flow characteristics in four cyclone separators with different dust outlet geometries (without dustbin, with dustbin, with dipleg and with dustbin plus dipleg) have been computationally simulated. The gas flow fields were simulated with Reynolds Stress Model(RSM).The effect of instantane...
