Data Sheet
High Performance Automatic De-Sanding
Westfalia Multi Cyclone System
ADP Series – Type ADP 100-2PC
The ADP Series PreCleaner Type
of Sand Cyclone has been widely
used for desanding in many appli-
cations including palm oil sludge.
Principle of Operation:
The sludge to be de-sanded enters
the cyclone through tangentially via
the feed pipe.
A special designed distributor en-
sures that the suspension is evenly
distributed into the conical part
where the separation of sand from
sludge takes place.
The energy source of the cyclone
is the feed pump. The centrifugal
force inside the cyclone is gene-
rated by conversion of pressure
energy to kinetic energy. The high
inlet pressure rapidly drops inside
the cyclone causing the liquid to
pick up speed as it moves inwards
towards the center vortex in side
the cyclone generating the
necessary centrifugal force to
remove small sand particles. The
sand is centrifuged to the cyclone
wall and recovered at the apex by
gravity flow.
Automatic Self-Cleaning
The sand receiver of the ADP
System is automatically flushed
clean at intervals during operation.
Low Maintenance Cost
All parts coming into contact with
the product are made of polyamide
and Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel. The
frame is painted in green synthetic
lacquer. The electric control panel
is of “tropicalized” and heavy duty
design.
Skid Mounted Assembly Easy to
Install
ADP Systems are delivered as
ready-to-operate assemblies. All
components are mounted on a
common frame.

Theory of Hydrocyclones

The size of sand particle that has

50% probability of being captured
in a hydrocyclone (d50) is Where
determined by the formula seen
below. The diameter of the
cylindrical portion of the cyclone
(Dc) greatly influences the d50 and
as can be seen from the formula
the smaller the Dc and the higher
the feed flow (Q) the smaller the
d50.
