High efficiency cyclones are a type of separation device used for filtration and containment of particles from gas streams. They operate on the principle of centrifugal force to remove particulates and achieve high collection efficiency, especially for particles above 10 μm.

Key applications and benefits:

• Precleaning for downstream control devices like baghouses
• Primary collection of coarse particulates
• Material recovery and recycling
• Low capital cost and maintenance
• Dry collection and disposal

Multiple cyclones can be used in parallel or series arrangements to treat high gas flow rates. Advanced designs focus on maximizing performance while minimizing pressure drop.
