    The document provides a general design procedure for cyclones to recover solids from gas streams. It involves 8 steps: 1) selecting high-efficiency or high-throughput design based on performance needs, 2) obtaining particle size distribution, 3) estimating number of parallel cyclones, 4) calculating cyclone diameter, 5) calculating scale-up factor, 6) calculating performance and efficiency, 7) calculating pressure drop and selecting blower, and 8) costing the system. An example is then provided to design a cyclone to recover 80% of solids from a 4000 m3/h gas stream based on given particle size distribution and properties. The design process involves calculating inlet velocity, duct area, cyclone diameter, and

    General design procedure

    1. Select either the high-efficiency or high-throughput design, depending on the


    performance required.
    2. Obtain an estimate of the particle size distribution of the solids in the stream to be
    treated.
    3. Estimate the number of cyclones needed in parallel.
    4. Calculate the cyclone diameter for an inlet velocity of 15 m/s (50 ft/s). Scale the other
    cyclone dimensions from Figures 10.44a or 10.44b.
    5. Calculate the scale-up factor for the transposition of Figures 10.45a or 10.45b.
    6. Calculate the cyclone performance and overall efficiency (recovery of solids). If
    unsatisfactory try a smaller diameter.
    7. Calculate the cyclone pressure drop and, if required, select a suitable blower.
    8. Cost the system and optimise to make the best use of the pressure drop available, or, if
    a blower is required, to give the lowest operating cost.
    Example 10.4
    Design a cyclone to recover solids from a process gas stream. The anticipated particle size
    3
    distribution in the inlet gas is given below. The density of the particles is 2500 kg/m , and the
    3
    gas is essentially nitrogen at 150°C. The stream volumetric flow-rate is 4000 m /h, and the
    operation is at atmospheric pressure. An 80 per cent recovery of the solids is required.

    Solution
    As 30 per cent of the particles are below 10 μm the high-efficiency design will be required to
    give the specified recovery.
