Schultz - Centrifugal Separators
Centrifugal Separators have been used across the industry dating back to 1950s. They are a dependable solution, especially if you aren’t sure what is coming down the pipeline. We have developed multiple devices for these applications and have experienced continued success in difficult applications over our company’s history, including multi-cyclones and mono-cyclones. Multi-cyclones are fixed devices and depending on the flow range will determine how many of these devices are installed within a separator. On the other hand, mono-cyclone separators only incorporate one centrifugal device whose size and design changes with the flow rate specified. Our mono-cyclone is our SinTrifugal Device. This device if often used in suction pulsation bottles to act as a last chance separator prior to the process entering the compressor cylinders.
The removal efficiency of any centrifugal device is directly related to the radius of curvature; a smaller radius will provide higher centrifugal forces, while a larger device will impact less forceful movements onto the flow. Contrarily, you cannot simply reduce the device radius to achieve overall separation performance; there is a balance between these separation forces and re-entrainment limits. Our devices have proven results and are based on industry familiar designs. These separators can be designed for either horizontal or vertical orientations. Our SinTrifugal Separators are commonly used on suction pulsation bottles for final separation prior to compression. Popular centrifugal separator configurations are:
- Vertical Multicyclone Separator, VMC
- Vertical 2-Stage Multicyclone Separator, VMC2
- Horizontal Axial Recycle Separator, HARS
- Horizontal SinTrifugal Separator, HST
- Vertical SinTrifugal Separator, VST
- Vertical SinCyclonic Separator, VSS
