A separator apparatus is described for separating liquids and solids from a gas. The separator apparatus includes a reverse flow cyclone comprising a cylindrical section, a conical section, and a top, the cylindrical section having a feed inlet, the top having a gas outlet, and the conical section having a reject outlet at the bottom thereof. An axial cyclone is disposed in the cylindrical section, the axial cyclone oriented with a first end located proximate to the top of the apparatus and a second end opposite the first end, the axial cyclone having a tapered entrance fixture at the second end thereof and having a wall with a plurality of openings located between the first end of the axial cyclone and a midpoint of the axial cyclone. A drain plate is coupled to the cylindrical section below the openings of the axial cyclone.

A gas-liquid separator system that can effectively and efficiently separate liquid from a streaming mixture having a liquid portion and a gas portion. The gas-liquid separator may be used in supercritical fluid chromatography application where an analyte is separated from a carrier gas, such as carbon dioxide. A streaming mixture is dispensed into a separation chamber formed by a spindle shaft configured inside of a shroud cavity. The shroud cavity has a plurality of concave channels along the inner surface and extend down to an outlet end. The concave channels create pressure variations that promote the liquid portion to condense onto the inner surface of the shroud and flow down to the exhaust port. A spherical collection portion is configured on the outlet of the shroud and the condensed liquid flows thereover and down along a cone portion and off the cone tip.

A cyclone type liquid-vapor separator includes a chamber including: an internal space wherein the treatment liquid introduced into the internal space is depressurized and evaporated; a vapor outlet formed on a top of the chamber and through which vapors generated through the evaporation is discharged; and a concentrated liquid outlet formed on a bottom of the chamber and through which the concentrated treatment liquid is discharged; an inlet part coupled to a side surface of the chamber in a tangent line direction of an inner peripheral surface of the chamber, the treatment liquid introduced into the chamber is turned in the form of vortexes along the inner peripheral surface of the chamber, and at least one partition wall disposed in an area between the inlet part and the vapor outlet of the internal space of the chamber and protruding from the inner peripheral wall of the chamber to prevent mist contained in the vapors from moving upwardly.

A cyclonic adaptor for fitting to a gravity-based dustcatcher (100) for a metallurgical processing plant: at least one input pipe (203), and a cyclone chamber (205) having a curved inner surface for guiding a gas flow within the interior of the cyclone chamber in a cyclonic manner. The cyclone chamber (205) having an exit in fluid communication with an outlet of the dustcatcher in use, wherein the at least one input pipe (203) has a first end in fluid communication with an inlet (104) of the dustcatcher (100) in use and the inlet pipe is adapted to receive exhaust gas containing solid particles from a metallurgical processing plant from the inlet (104) of the dustcatcher (100), and extends from the first end to a second end positioned in fluid communication with the interior of the cyclone chamber (205), wherein the second end is arranged to direct the exhaust gas in an at least primarily tangential direction with respect to the curved inner surface of the cyclone chamber such that the exhaust gas entering the cyclone chamber (205) flows in a cyclonic manner in order to remove solid particles from the exhaust gas before flowing through the exit, and wherein the cyclone chamber (205) is adapted to be housed within an interior volume of the dustcatcher (100).

A dust collecting device using multi-cyclone dust filtration includes a dust collecting chamber, cyclone chamber and airflow guiding component. The dust collecting chamber communicates with the cyclone chamber having an intake port for a gas to be filtered, an annular side wall connected to intake port and guiding gas to be filtered to form a first cyclone, an engaging port communicated with dust collecting chamber and allowing first cyclone to enter dust collecting chamber, and an exhaust port. The airflow guiding component within cyclone chamber is provided with a return flow tube receiving the returned gas to be filtered and forming a second cyclone, an airflow guiding bonnet separated from return flow tube, and a dust filtration channel between airflow guiding bonnet and return flow tube. The second cyclone flows toward the exhaust port, and enables dust therein to enter cyclone chamber again, as passing by dust filtration channel.

A centrifugal separator (10) includes a housing (12), which extends along a central axis (14) and has a separating chamber wall (24) for delimiting a separating chamber (26) that is fed by an inlet channel (44) for polyphasic fluid. A central immersion tube (50) is provided for discharging a first fluid phase and an outlet channel (54) is provided for discharging a second fluid phase. An expansion chamber (30), which widens radially outward with respect to the separating chamber and is radially outwardly delimited by an expansion chamber wall (30), is provided between the separating chamber and the outlet channel, The separating chamber conically widens from the inlet channel, as seen along the central axis, toward the expansion chamber.

A phase splitter for separating a multiphase fluid into a relatively light phase and a relatively heavy phase includes a separator tube which comprises a fluid inlet through which the multiphase fluid enters the apparatus, a heavy phase outlet through which the heavy phase exits the apparatus and an inner diameter surface which defines a flow bore that extends between the fluid inlet and the heavy phase outlet. A swirl element positioned in the flow bore downstream of the fluid inlet causes the multiphase fluid to rotate and separate the heavy phase from the light phase. The light phase forms an elongated core which extends axially through the flow bore radially inwardly of the heavy phase from proximate the swirl element toward the heavy phase outlet. A core stabilizer is positioned in the flow bore between the swirl element and the heavy phase outlet and engages the distal end of the light phase core to thereby inhibit the light phase from exiting the apparatus through the heavy phase outlet.
