A method of operating a hydrocyclone comprising a separation chamber which in use is arranged to generated an internal air core for affecting a material separation process, the method comprising measuring a stability parameter of the internal air core during operation of the hydrocyclone, the stability parameter measurement being taken using a stability measurement sensor which is in fluid contact with the internal air core; comparing the measurements with one or more predefined corresponding stability parameters of the hydrocyclone; and adjusting an operational parameter of the hydrocyclone in response to determining that the measurements are indicative of a departure from stable operation, based on the comparison. |
