I have a question regarding cyclone separators
Thread Content
The oil pipeline from our dock to the oil depot is 5 kilometers long; it was built in 1993 to transport aviation fuel, with the pump on the tanker delivering the fuel directly to the depot, at a flow rate of around 250 cubic meters per hour. During the final bilging, it is necessary to push air into the pipes. Due to this buildup of scale, the inner walls of the pipes rust severely; every time a ship’s cargo is unloaded, the filter elements get clogged with iron particles. So we want to add another layer of filtration in front of the filter to remove rust particles. It has been found that cyclone separators can effectively achieve solid-liquid separation. But I’m not sure about the usage of cyclone separators in the refined oil industry Is there anyone who can recommend a cyclone separator suitable for our use?
Electromagnetic separators are the most suitable for removing iron filings. Search for it online.
Please provide me with parameters such as the oil flow rate, viscosity, and the particle size of impurities like rust particles, and I will suggest a suitable filtration solution for you!
