Separators for liquids - Import export

Hydro cyclone units are applied in order to separate coarse and fine solid particles from liquids . These type of separators are particularly capable of separating sand, starch, and other finely distributed materials. With hydro cyclones it is possible to separate fine particles online during the process. Hydro cyclone units are used to separate, classify, and to thicken suspensions. Also, these units are used to purify ores and minerals. Also, in fibre technique and paper industry they are applied in purification processes to separate dirt. Hydro cyclones are frequently run in parallel mode. The lay out and design of hydro cyclones are performed empirically similar to the duct cyclones. In the lower flow region of a hydro cyclone an air swirl forms during the separation process, which is not substantially influencing the cyclone flow. Because of the large dimension of the cyclone, wall friction has much more influence on the flow.

The gas cyclone belongs to the mostly applied technical separators, because it has applicationwise some fundamental advantages. One of them is certainly the fact that its construction does not show any movable components. For the large variety of different kinds of dispersed (particulate) phases (for example dust particles, metal chips, wooden waste, liquid droplets) and different gas conditions (pressure, temperature) the lay out and computation of a cyclone is still a complex task. Suvis has specialised in the development and lay out of cyclone separators and can offer professional solutions and consulting in the area of gas cyclones. Many years of experience gained through numerous cyclone development projects results in optimal solutions for our customers. A cyclone separator applies centrifugal forces and represents an effective apparatus for separating gas, liquid or solid particles from a continuous phase in chemical, process or environmental engineering.

A further area of activity of Suvis is the development and application of modern numerical methods for the calculation (prediction) of flows using CFD in industry, science etc. Our employees are especially trained in view of technical applications of numerical flow simulations. Within the recent years we conducted several projects in the area of multiphase flows. We dealt with applications in the optimisation of processes in chemical engineering, the transport of particles, gas cleaning and particle separation from gases and liquids, and the calculation and optimisation of cyclone separators. We apply powerful commercial software tools like grid generators in order to generate numerical grids using CADdata in a short time for even complex applications. Also, for flow calculations and the evaluation of 3D flow fields we apply powerful software solutions. Furthermore, for certain individual problems we apply codes we have developed our selves.
