Abstract: A hydrocyclone for separation solid particles from a liquid is disclosed. The hydrocyclone includes a ceramic cyclone head, a ceramic cyclone main body, and a metal enclosure. The metal enclosure includes at least an upper metallic enclosure part and a main metallic enclosure part. A lower section of the upper metallic enclosure part includes mateable circumferential threads and an upper section of the main metallic enclosure part includes mateable circumferential threads. The mateable circumferential threads of the upper metallic enclosure part and the mateable circumferential threads of the main metallic enclosure part are mateable with each other.

Abstract: Hydrocyclone comprising a ceramic cyclone head with at least one feed inlet, a upper outlet, and a head chamber a ceramic cyclone main body with a lower outlet and a main chamber, wherein ceramic cyclone main body is connected to the ceramic cyclone head so that the head chamber is in fluid communication with the main chamber; a metal enclosure with a corresponding feed inlet opening and corresponding outlet openings; wherein the metal enclosure comprises at least an upper metallic enclosure part adapted to enclose at least part of the ceramic cyclone head and a main metallic enclosure part adapted to enclose at least a part of the ceramic cyclone main body, wherein the upper metallic enclosure part comprises circumferential threads in a lower section thereof and the main metallic enclosure part comprises circumferential threads in an upper section thereof, wherein said circumferential threads are mateable.

Abstract: A cyclone separator for separating a heavy fraction from a multiphase fluid comprising a mixture of the heavy fraction, a medium fraction and a light fraction includes an elongated cyclone tube which comprises a fluid inlet, a heavy fraction outlet and a flow bore that extends between the fluid inlet and the heavy fraction outlet. A mandrel is positioned concentrically within the cyclone tube and comprises a light fraction outlet that extends generally axially therethrough and an outer diameter surface that together with the cyclone tube defines an annular flow path for the multiphase fluid which extends between the fluid inlet and the flow bore.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for removing solids from a gas stream.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fluidizing unit (1) for use in a vessel desanding system, comprising a discharge pipe (2) and a supply duct (3), the discharge pipe comprises a discharge inlet (4) and a discharge outlet (5), and the supply duct is formed by a housing (6) arranged around the discharge pipe defining an annular space (7) between an outer surface of said pipe and an inner surface of the housing, the supply duct comprises a pressurized liquid inlet (8) and a pressurized liquid outlet (9), wherein the pressurized liquid outlet, during use, is able to provide a pressurized liquid flow having a substantially elliptic cross-section.
