High efficiency DOUCET HYDROCYCLONE UNITS (H - HD - 05 LS) with automatic or manual drains require little energy (Pressure drop from 2 to 7 m W.C. or 3 to 10 PSI) and have a nominal separation capability in the range of 10 to 80 microns, depending on the model selected. Our most efficient modules separate particles with a settling rate of 4 inches in less than 3 minutes.
DOUCET HYDROCYCLONES prevent sand from a water well or resins from a ion exchanger from being carried away.
They permit the recovery, concentration and even the transport of settling and valuable products such as microsand, coal, ore, crystals, chemical precipitates, ...
DOUCET HYDROCYCLONES never clog under normal working conditions when maximum dimensions of incoming impurities are respected, i.e., from 3 to 10 mm depending on the type of module selected. In the case of treatment of surface water containing coarse or floating impurities, a DOUCET JET FILTER must be added or COMBI-UNIT assuring filtration and separation.
DOUCET units are ideally suited for :
-The protection of both industrial (DOUCET H - HD, MICROSEPARATORS and STANDARD UNITS) and domestic
installations (DOUCET PROTECTION UNITS). They eliminate settling impurities such as sludge, sand, lime, rust and scale.
-The protection of open or recycled hot-water and cooling circuits and spraying nozzles.
-The protection of pumps and turbines : stuffing boxes, labyrinth packing, flat seals and other types of hydraulic seals.
-The protection of control units, measuring instruments and water treatment equipment.
