From conference proceedings which clearly illustrate that the hydrocyclone can do many different things, simply and efficiently. This is true whether the application is liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, or liquid-gas. As a result, hydrocyclones demonstrate a wide appeal to engineers of many specialisms. A wide range of studies, results of research and industrial applications are explained and discussed in this important volume. The 33 papers included in Hydrocyclones '96 describe applications in, Mineral processing Chemical engineering The food industry Biotechnology The oil and gas industry Heat Engineering and other industries Hydrocyclones '96 covers a wide span of activities, from fundamental research, through modelling and design, to current advances in industrial practice. This collection of material can be wholeheartedly recommended to plant operators, manufacturers, suppliers, researchers, designers, and all those concerned with this field of mechanical engineering.
