The MERLINLiquid cyclone separator is an innovative and patented separation technology that protects liquid analyzers by separating biphasic and particulate-loaded mixtures.
The MERLINLiquid design offers optimal separation. Without using filter element (sintered stainless steel or fabric), the MERLINLiquid effectively separates 2 phases of liquids or solid particulates by a vortex effect and centrifugal force.
Indeed, the difference of density between 2 liquids provides separation. The heavy phase is entrained along the wall of the separator and the light phase exits from the top side of the separator to the analyzer.
Applications
- Separation of free water in liquid hydrocarbons.
- Separation of algae and sludge in waste water.
- Separation of rust and carbon particulates in cracked
fuel products.
- Protection of pH-meters.
Advantages
- Keeps sample integrity .
- Removes particulates up to 7750 kg/m3 and greater than 10 microns.
- Operates very dirty samples with a single equipement.
- No filter element means no risk of clogging or early fouling.
- No maintenance.
- Possibility to add a sintered stainless steel to refine the filtration level (with backflush).
