Induced long vortex cyclone separation method and apparatus

摘要

The Induced Long Vortex Cyclone separation method and apparatus allows a three fold increase in residence time and therefore enhances the separation efficiency. The flow rate capacity is increased about 1.7 times for the same pressure drop and energy consumption compared to a conventional cyclone. The ILV cyclone could be used in addition for centrifugal separation of gases having a large difference between their molecular weights.
