Cyclones design guidelines

Process and Mechanical Design Guidelines for Reactor and Regenerator Cyclones... 

Since the design of defoaming cyclones is based largely on tests and experience, it is difficult to provide any firm design guidelines herein. However,... 

FIG. 23-53 Cyclone separator design details. (Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems, Center for Chemical Frocess Safely (CCPS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) copyright 1988 AIChE and reproduced with permission.). 

The sizing procedure is presented in Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems (AIChE-CCPS, 1998). Figure 23-53 shows the dimensions of a cyclone separator designed in accordance with this procedure. If liquid is continuously drained from the cyclone to a separate accumulator, a vortex breaker and false bottom should be used (Fig. 23-53, view BB). 

Part A gives general guidelines for the design of large commercial fluidized bed reactors with respect to the following aspects (1) solids properties and their effect on the quality of fluidization (2) bubble size control through small solid particle size or baffles (3) particle recovery by means of cyclones (4) heat transfer tubes (5) solids circulation systems (6) instrumentation, corrosion and erosion, mathematical models, pilot plants and scale-up techniques.
