Overview

Aldereley Desanding Hydrocyclone Vessel - The Alderley solid / liquid hydrocyclone vessel incorporating AP-50 cyclone desanding liners

In order to meet the ever demanding environmental constraints for emissions, Alderley have developed a range of high efficiency ceramic desanding hydrocyclones for the removal of solids from produced water.

The desanding cyclone is manufactured from high purity alumina and represents a drive in Alderley policy towards design and manufacture using Best Available Technology and incorporating continuous improvement.

Advantages of the Alderley Desanding Hydrocyclone

  • High efficiency design (solids removal down to 10 microns)
  • High on-line turndown (>5:1)
  • Three standard hydrocyclone sizes offering flexibility in design
  • High erosion resistance
  • Compact vessel design
  • Hydrocyclone liners can be individually removable or cartridge style
  • Low maintenance liner design
  • Reduced maintenance times
  • Minimal operator training/involvement
  • Minimal control and instrumentation required
  • Sand removal either on-line or off-line

To accurately match our clients diverse requirements, Alderley provide desanding liners in the following three sizes:

  • The AP-25 Cyclone. Offering the highest efficiency in solids clarification from a 1' diameter hydrocyclone liner.
  • The AP-50 Cyclone. Offering the optimum performance balance between flow rate, pressure drop and efficiency from a 2' diameter hydrocyclone liner.
  • The AP-80 Cyclone. Offering high throughputs for a minimal loss of energy from a 3' diameter hydrocyclone liner.
