The document discusses cyclone separators. It explains that a cyclone separator uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a gas or liquid stream without any moving parts. Cyclones work by transforming the inlet gas stream into a confined vortex, which uses centrifugal force to drive suspended particles toward the cyclone wall for collection. Cyclone separators can be used to remove particulates from air, gas, or liquid streams in various industries such as cement manufacturing, mineral processing, and others.

2. Cyclone Separator
• It is centrifugal or inertial separator. It depends upon centrifugal force for
its action.
• It is structure without moving parts in which a velocity of inlet gas stream
is transformed into a confined vortex from which centrifugal force tend to
drive the suspended particles to the wall of the cyclone body.

3. Cyclone Separator
• Cyclonic separation is a method of removing particulates from an air, gas or liquid
stream, without the use of filters, through vortex separation.
• When removing particulate matter from liquid, a hydrocyclone is used; while from gas, a
gas cyclone is used.
• A device that removes solids from an effluent stream (solid/liquid or solid/gas) using
gravitational settling.
• A cyclone collector is a compact device capable of processing large volumes of effluent;
however, pressure energy is expended in its operation. ...
