Optimization design for parallel cyclones having a tangential gas inlet

Abstract

David Leith and William Licht’s design equation and optimization constrains were applied to cyclone having a tangential gas inlet used for collection of particles in stack gas from fuel oil combustion of boiler at TAH KONG CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL (THAILAND) Co., Ltd. Cyclone performance, calculation of cyclone initial design and operation cost can be simulated by the program. Measured pressure drop is usually higher than predicted pressure drop due to variation in cyclone during actual operating condition. Optimization and evaluation to the costs indicated that predicted costs are usually lower than actual costs due to the exclusion of installation and transportation costs.
