What are the factors that affect the separation efficiency of a separator?
(1) Inlet line speed. As can be seen from the fraction of critical particle diameter, a higher inlet linear velocity results in a smaller critical particle diameter and thus a higher recovery efficiency. (2) Catalyst inlet concentration. A high catalyst inlet concentration results in a higher recovery efficiency, but beyond a certain value, the recovery efficiency decreases. Therefore, it is generally required that the catalyst inlet concentration be low. (3) Catalyst particle density. The particles have a high density, resulting in high recovery efficiency. (4) Particle distribution of the catalyst. The larger the catalyst particles, the higher the recovery efficiency, but fluidization becomes more difficult. (5) Gas viscosity. As the gas viscosity increases, the recovery efficiency decreases.
