DESIGN & FABRICATION OF CYCLONE SEPARATOR FOR REMOVAL OF PARTICULATE MATTER

Mechanical Engineering.

Emissions from industries & air pollution from these emissions adversely affects the environment and public health. In air pollution dust & particulate matter plays a major factor and to separate them from air is tedious task. But from a social and control point of view separation of this particulate matter is mandatory. Particulate matter is the sum of all solid & liquid particles suspended in air many of which are hazardous. This complex mixture includes both organic or inorganic particles such as dust, pollen, soot, smoke and liquid droplets. These particles vary greatly in size, composition and origin. Cyclone Separators are essential component of gas cleaning systems and are extensively used in different industries. It is the most commonly used device, to separate dust particles from gas and dust flow. They are used as a primary abatement devices. To design a cyclone abatement system for particulate control, it is necessary to accurately estimate cyclone performance. This project presents the details of the design, fabrication and removal of particulate matter present in the atmospheric air. The cyclone was proportioned and designed using the Shepherd & Lapple (1939) and a Classical Cyclone Design (CCD) models.
