Analysis of Study Method on Oil-water Cyclone Separation

Research progress of the oil-water cyclone separator was reviewed from the aspects of flow mechanistic modeling theory and simulation of computational fluid dynamics(CFD).CFD soft FLUENT was used to draw a simulate conclusion,the cyclone separator three-dimension turbulent flow-field simulation used the Reynold stress model RSM and the Euler MIXTURE tow-phase model.Conclusions of simulation could guide the design of cyclone separator and give out some references for studying cyclone separator.Then performance of the oil-water cyclone separator was analyzed.It was revealed that the main factors affecting the cyclone separation performance are efficiency,energy consumption,oil concentration at the outlet of bottom flow,water cut at overflow vent,cut size,adjustment ratio of flow rate,etc..It was shown that this method is of accuracy and feasibility,greatly facilitating type selection and evaluation of cyclone separation.
