1. General Information & Operation
Applications:
Sand separator for well applications
Standard Characteristics:
•Filter housing material of construction: Carbon Steel ST37.2
•Pre-treatment: sand blasting up to Sa 2.5 grade
•Exterior & Interior coating: electrostatic oven baked polyester-epoxy powder
coating with a thickness of 150-200 micron
•Connections: VIC, Male Threaded and Flange
•Maximum recommended working pressure: 10 bars (145 psi).
•Inlet is tangential to the body
•Conical rubber protection or expendable connection on the joint between
hydrocyclone and the sedimentation tank
Operation:
Water enters the hydrocyclone via the tangential inlet which creates a spiral flow along
the walls of the filter. The centrifugal force separates the Suspended solids and sand
particles and pushes them towards the walls of the sand separator. Those particles
gravitate downwards and into the sedimentation tank, while clean water moves
upwards and exits through the top outlet. For the sand separator to operate correctly,
the lead loss must remain between 2-5m. The separation efficiency is not affected by
the accumulation of dirt in the sedimentation tank. The sedimentation tank is drained
by opening a flush valve for a few seconds manually or automatically by timer.

2. Description
A Hydrocyclone separates sand and other solid matter from water with very little
head loss and 90% or better efficiency. There is no head loss build up and no clogging
when the solids are separated. Hydrocyclones are easy to operate and maintain, and
have no moving parts or screens.
Versatility in system configurations and ease of installation are some of its great
advantages.
A Hydrocyclone uses a tangential injection flow process, enhancing the centrifugal
forces and moving solid particles outwards. The dispersed particles move downward
in a spiral path into an underflow chamber (sedimentation tank) while clean liquid
moves upwards to the center of the spiral, towards the top outlet.
A specially designed rubber insert protects the neck of the Hydrocyclone from
erosion and increases separation efficiency. The Sedimentation Tank can be drained
automatically with an automatic flushing kit (an electric valve, controller and small
command filter). Automatic flushing will not interfere with the proper functioning of
the Hydrocyclone. The Hydrocyclone has a 120-200 micron protective coating of extra
durable polyester applied electrostatically and oven cured after a sandblasting
process and heating the metal to a temperature of 356°F.

3. Technical Data & Specifications
As a rule, the separation efficiency improves as the Hydrocyclone diameter decreases and the
head loss increases. Miniature Hydrocyclones may be used for easy sampling of liquids, for
determining filter (including larger Hydrocyclones) operation and efficiency and for testing the
feasibility of operation for the problem at hand.
Each filter is designed and manufactured in order to achieve the highest standard of quality
and finish.
• Recommended head loss for effective operation: 3-8 psi
• Maximum recommended working pressure: 120 psi
• Maximum pressure: 145 psi
• Water inlet and outlet: horizontal and vertical
• Inserts: standard on all sizes except 3”, 4”, 6” & 8” (74HC8)
• Protective coating: polyester on zinc-phosphate layer
• Pressure relief valve: must be installed before the filters if pressure is not controlled
• Available sizes: 3”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 12”, 16”, 20”, 24” and 30”
• End connections: Thread (TH), Flange (FL), Groove (GR)

4. Initial Installation & Operation
General
Based on the centrifuge principle, the particles are spun against the outside wall of the
Hydrocyclone and gravitate towards the bottom into the Sedimentation Tank. The velocity at
which the water flows through the Hydrocyclone determines the efficiency at which the
particles are separated from the water.
• Normal working conditions are achieved when headloss on the Hydrocyclone is not less
than 3 psi with a recommended range of 3-8 psi.
−A headloss of less than 3 psi will reduce the separation efficiency and a headloss of more
than
8 psi might induce increased erosion.
• The Hydrocyclone is designed for a maximum recommended working pressure of 120 psi
and should not exceed 145 psi.
Installation
•Install and connect the Hydrocyclone vertically with the Sedimentation Tank underneath
the Hydrocyclone.
•Special attention must be given to the correct flow direction: horizontal inlet and top
vertical outlet are clearly marked by arrows.
•Install the manual ball valve to the flush port of the Sedimentation Tank.
•Check that the actual flow rate through the Hydrocyclone is within the recommended
range. Inadequate flow rate will result in reduced performance.
•If more than one Hydrocyclone is installed, leave sufficient space between units to
facilitate maintenance.
•A quick acting pressure relief valve must be installed upstream of the Hydrocyclone if the
pressure is not controlled effectively.
INSTALLATION WITH OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC FLUSHING KIT
•Automatic Flushing Kit includes an electric Gate valve, controller and small command
filter.
•Install the electric Gate valve on the outlet opening of the Sedimentation Tank.
•Connect the controller to the electric Gate valve.
•Insert the batteries inside the controller (or plug in for AC) and close the cover tightly.
•Adjust the controller as follows:
•Flushing time for Sedimentation Tanks with 0.4-16 gallons: 15-20 seconds
•Flushing time for Sedimentation Tanks with 32-60 gallons: 30-40 seconds
•Time between flushing: 30-120 minutes
•If the water contains high loads of dirt, shorten the time between flushing

5. Sedimentation Tank
51 FLUSHING
•The Sedimentation Tank can be flushed manually or automatically with an
irrigation controller or backflush controller at periodic intervals.
•When a manual valve is installed, drain the Sedimentation Tank at periodic
intervals according to the recommendations.
•The Sedimentation Tank should be drained when it is 1⁄3 full.
•Do not let the Sedimentation Tank get filled more than ½ of its volume, otherwise
the sand will not flush properly.
•As a result, the sand will spin, have no place to drain, and cause pin holes in the
neck of the Hydrocyclone.
5.2 SEDIMENTATION TANK PERIODIC CLEANING
•Check that the rubber insert and/or the metal insert is not worn or damaged and
replace if necessary. When separating sand, the rubber insert may need to be
replaced every 2-3 years. When separating silt, the rubber insert may need to be
replaced every year.
•Close the valve at the inlet of the Hydrocyclone.
•Open the drain valve located at the bottom of the Sedimentation Tank to release
pressure and drain.
•Take off the cover.
•Remove all the sediments collected in the Sedimentation Tank.
•Thoroughly rinse the inside of the empty Sedimentation Tank.
•Replace the cover on the Sedimentation Tank so that the cover gasket fits over it.
•Mount tightening bracket and tightening handle properly.
WARNING: Do not tighten or open cover during operation or under pressure.
5.3 MAINTENANCE
•Apply a layer of grease to handle threads once a year.
•Immediately repair any damage to the tank’s protective coating by following these
steps:
1. Polish the damaged area by sandpaper till the surface will be smooth (no any
bumps on the painted area).
2. Apply epoxy thinner (to clean the area from dust and oils)
3. Paint by brush the area with two component epoxy primer (after mixing the
primer with the appropriate harden coat) Diluted at a ratio of 1 to 5(20%).
4. After 16 -24 hours paint a second layer (according item 3).
5. After another 16 -24 hours, polish lightly the repaired and painted area, and
paint with Polyurethane topcoat (after mixing the topcoat with the
appropriate harden coat) by brush.
