To design a cyclone abatement system for particulate control, it is necessary to accurately estimate cyclone performance. In this cyclone study, new theoretical methods for computing travel. CY-i Cyclone Sizing Software Launched in 2010, this innovative software suite has been developed to equip Multotec customers with a scientific and structured approach to making the initial selection of a dense medium cyclone or classification cyclone solution, by using input variables within their own plant configuration to determine cyclone. How Cyclones Fail: Design/ Fabrication Errors. No dust receiver. Short outlet pipes. Dished heads. Poor or non existent airlocks. Instruments or access ports installed into cyclonic flow streams. Related equipment not designed for cyclonic flow. Inlet elbows, transitions, or other obstructions.
Product Highlight
Servitec S
Our vacuum spray deaeration/make-up highlight
This year the technology of vacuum spray-tube degassing will be 20 years old and we are celebrating this with a special highlight: the new Servitec S. It is the ideal choice for medium-sized systems with a water volume of up to 6 m³.
Foreign particles and substances can significantly reduce the performance and service life of heating systems and increase service intervals. Our solutions can help to prevent this and achieve optimum operating conditions.
Reflex separation technology uses mechanical separation processes, for which no auxiliary energy is needed. Reflex produces models for dirt and sludge as well as for micro-bubbles and free air. The separation includes micro-bubbles, air bubbles and free air, particularly during filling and draining processes.
Servitec degassing systems even degas dissolved gases in a vacuum. The process is electronically monitored and optimized by a Reflex Control unit.
Energy efficiency brochure better water for heating and cooling systems. Better air for the Environment.

Editorial Review:
Current industry, government and public emphasis on containment of hazardous materials makes it essential for each plant to reduce and control accidental releases to the atmosphere. Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems meets the need for information on selecting and sizing pressure relief devices and effluent handling systems that will maintain process integrity and avoid discharge of potentially harmful materials to the atmosphere.
With a CD-ROM enclosed containing programs for calculating flow through relief devices, effluent handling systems, and associated piping, the book offers an important collection of state-of-the-art technology for safely relieving process equipment of such conditions as overpressure, overtemperature and/or runaway reactions. It provides information for two-phase and compressible gas flow to select and size pressure relief devices, piping, and effluent handling equipment, such as gravity separators, cyclones, spargers, and quench pools. The book has an important collection of state-of-the-art technology for safely relieving process equipment of conditions such as overpressure, overtemperature and/or run-away reactions. It provides information for two-phase and compressible gas flow to select and size pressure relief devices, piping, and effluent handling equipment such as gravity separators cyclones, spargers and quench pools.
