Krebs CycloClean™ modules
The Krebs CycloClean module works on a very simple principle. Oily water is pumped tangentially into the hydrocyclone which initiates a spinning vortex. This spinning vortex is accelerated as it moves down the tapered hydrocyclone, separating the heavier water phase to the outside walls while the lighter oil phase moves to the center. The separated oil is removed through a reject orifice located in the inlet head section and the treated water discharges through the tail section.
FLSmidth Krebs offers a full line of CycloClean™ modules, including the KCM-8, 16 and 25. The modules are designed to meet a wide range of performance objectives for flows ranging from 8 to 25 gpm [2.0 to 5.7 m3/hr].
Unlike plate pack separators, the Krebs CycloClean module relies on centrifugal forces rather than gravitational forces for separation. The centrifugal force generated inside the vortex of the hydrocyclone is of the order of 1,000 times the force of gravity. With such force even emulsified oil droplets can be separated.
Krebs liquid /liquid hydrocyclones can treat oily water with oil droplets below 15 microns. (50 to 100 microns for competitor's systems).
