Abstract
The inlet structure of hydrocyclones has great impact on performance. In this paper, the effects of spiral inlet geometric parameters on the flow field characteristics and separation performance were investigated by CFD. Numerical results show that the pitch has the largest influence, followed by the heads, the turns, and the steady flow cone. With the increase of the steady flow cone angle, the turbulence intensity increases. The efficiency, pressure drop, tangential velocity, sand volume fraction at the spigot, and natural gas hydrate (NGH) volume fraction at the vortex finder decrease, when the pitch increases. With the increase of the number of heads and turns, the efficiency, pressure drop, tangential velocity, the NGH volume fraction at the vortex finder, and the sand volume fraction at the spigot increase. The efficiency and pressure drop of hydrocyclones with the optimal parameters are 90% and 0.05 MPa, respectively. Therefore, the performance of the NGH hydrocyclone can be improved by increasing the inlet pitch and the number of spiral heads and inlet spiral turns. The results provide theoretical guidance for the engineering design of NGH in situ separators.

Abstract
Ultrafine particle classification can be realized using hydrocyclones with novel structures to overcome the limitations of conventional hydrocyclones with tangential inlets or cone structures. Herein, the hydrocyclones with different inlet structures and cone angles were investigated for classifying ultrafine particles. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using the Eulerian-Eulerian method, and ultrafine MnO2 powder was used as a case study. The simulation results show a fine particle (≤5 μm) removal efficiency of 0.89 and coarse particle (>5 μm) recovery efficiency of 0.99 for a hydrocyclone design combining an arc inlet and a 30° cone angle under a solid concentration of 2.5 wt %. Dynamic analysis indicated that the novel arc inlet provided a preclassification effect to reduce the misplacement of fine/coarse particles, which cannot be provided by conventional tangential or involute inlets. Furthermore, the proposed design afforded comprehensive improvement in the flow field by regulating the residence time and radial acceleration. Subsequently, a novel hydrocyclone with an arc inlet and 30° cone angle was manufactured using the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Experiments were conducted for classifying ultrafine MnO2 particles using the novel 3D-printed hydrocyclone and conventional hydrocyclone. The results demonstrate that the classification performance of the 3D-printed hydrocyclone was superior to that of the conventional one, in particular, the removal efficiency of fine particles from 0.719 to 0.930 using a 10 wt % feed slurry.

Abstract
A novel hydrocyclone sand washer featured by connecting a cylindrical hydrocyclone and a conical-cylindric hydrocyclone in series was developed to improve the poor grading performance in current machine-made sand processing technology. The former hydroycyclone with a flat bottom was designed to enhance the centrifugal intensity, thereby achieving the pre-grading of fine and coarse particles and ensuring the discharge of most fine mud particles from the overflow pipe. The latter hydrocyclone was designed to achieve the secondary fine separation and therefore reduce the content of fine particles in the underflow product. Firstly, the flow field inside the consecutive hydrocyclones was simulated using an RSM and VOF model. The DPM model was introduced to trace the particle motion trajectory and validate the feasibility of hydrocyclone separation. Then, the experimental study was performed using the control variable method, and the effects of the first-section overflow pipe diameter, the feeding rate, and the mud–sand mixing ratio on the desliming performance were examined. Results show that the content of particles with a diameter of below 75μm in the second-section underflow drops significantly after the separation in the hydrocyclone sand washer. When the first-section overflow pipe diameter, the feeding rate, and the mud–sand mixing ratio are set to 34 mm, 60 kg/h and 1:1, respectively, the desliming rate of the novel hydrocyclone sand washer can reach 94.31% and the loss rate of quartz sand is only 1.28%.

Abstract
Offshore oil and gas production is increasingly growing popular globally. Produced water (PW), which is the largest byproduct of oil and gas production, is a complex mixture of dissolved and undissolved organic and inorganic substances. PW contributes considerably to oil pollution in the offshore petroleum and gas industry owing to the organic substances, which mainly include hydrocarbons; this is a major concern to researchers because of the long-term adverse effects on the ecosystem. Since the development of offshore petroleum and gas industry, the PW treatment process has been classified into pretreatment, standard-reaching treatment, and advanced purification treatment based on the characteristics of PW and has been coupled with the environmental, economic, and regulatory considerations. The mechanism, design principle, application, and development of conventional technologies for PW treatment, such as gravity and enhanced gravity sedimentation, hydrocyclone, gas flotation, and medium filtration, are summarized in this study. Novel methods for further application, such as tubular separation, combined fibers coalescence, and membrane separation, are also discussed. Enhancement of treatment with multiple physical fields and environmentally friendly chemical agents, coupled with information control technology, would be the preferred PW treatment approach in the future. Moreover, the PW treatment system should be green, efficient, secure, and intelligent to satisfy the large-scale, unmanned, and abyssal exploration of offshore oil and gas production in the future.

Abstract
In view of the difficulty of traditional hydrocyclones to meet the requirements of fine classification, a double-overflow three-product (internal overflow, external overflow and underflow) hydrocyclone was designed in this study. Numerical simulation and experimental research methods were used to investigate the effects of double-overflow flow field characteristics and structural parameters (i.e., internal vortex finder diameter and insertion depth) on separation performance. The research results showed that the larger the diameter of the internal vortex finder, the greater the overflow yield and the larger the cut size. The finest internal overflow product can be obtained when the internal vortex finder is 30 mm longer than the external vortex finder. The separation efficiency is highest when the internal vortex finder is 30 mm shorter than the external vortex finder.

Abstract
The application of a hydrocyclone to recycle NGH and desand during NGH exploitation is a novel idea. The flow field and performance of this hydrocyclone is in the frontier of the research in this field and is unclear so far. This research aimed to reveal the flow field characteristics and performance of NGH downhole hydrocyclones. In this paper, flow field, solid phase particle volume distribution and separation efficiency were investigated according to the two objectives of NGH recovery efficiency and sand removal efficiency with different inlet velocities by computational fluid simulations (CFD)-FLUENT software. The results show that the short circuit flow contributed to the recovery of NGH. Axial velocity is a decisive factor in balancing the two objectives of NGH recovery efficiency and sand removal efficiency. In addition, the same as those in traditional hydrocyclones, the static pressure, tangential velocity and turbulence intensity play key roles in separation performance, hydrocyclone performance can be improved by increasing the inlet velocity. On the other hand, most separation efficiencies were greater than 80%, when the particle size was larger than 15 µm, and the differential pressure was less than 0.6 MPa. Therefore, all the above results confirm that hydrocyclone has good performance in NGH exploitation, and the basis of its structural design and optimization are provided.

Abstract
Separation of biomass from culture media by centrifugation and then washing the biomass are mandatory steps in the fermentation process of recombinant Pichia pastoris expressed HBsAg intracellularly. Biomass has to be washed many times to eliminate the culture media residues thoroughly. In this study, we tried to develop the hydrocyclone as an alternative method for separation of biomass from fermentation culture, an attractive replacement for centrifugation processes. The advantages of using hydrocyclone in biomass separation could be summarized in its suitability for continuous separation and its low risk of contamination. To evaluate the performance of hydrocyclone, concentration ratio in underflow to feed stream, capacity, and centrifugal force by considering three parameters of pressure drop, concentration, and the type of hydrocyclone were investigated. Using three level factorial design a concentration ratio equation was developed, with the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.977 ensured the good fitness of the predicted data with the experimental results. In optimal conditions, maximum concentration ratio was 1.246, for flow rate 13.5 LPM and C-force equal to 1276.11 at maximum pressure drop (3 bar) and minimum concentration (0.5% w/w) in hydrocyclone 1. Herein, two different hydrocyclones with the cylindrical diameters of 19 mm and 21 mm were used for separating the yeast cells.

Abstract
A hydrocyclone is an instrument that can effectively separate multi-phase mixtures of particles with different densities or sizes based on centrifugal sedimentation principles. However, conventional hydrocyclones lead to two products only, resulting in an over-wide particle size range that does not meet the requirements of subsequent operations. In this article, a two-stage series, a four product hydrocyclone is proposed. The first stage hydrocyclone is designed to be a coaxial double overflow pipe: under the effect of separation, fine particles are discharged from the internal overflow pipe, while medium-size particles are discharged from external overflow pipe before entering the second stage hydrocyclone for fine sedimentation. In other words, one-stage grading leads to four products, including the first stage underflow, the first stage overflow, the second stage underflow, and the second stage overflow. The effects of structural parameters and operational parameters on flow field distribution in hydrocyclone were investigated via a study of flow field distribution in multi-product hydrocyclones using numerical simulations. The application of four product hydrocyclone in iron recovery shows that the grade and recovery of iron concentrate exceed 65.08% and 86.14%, respectively. This study provides references for understanding the flow field distribution in hydrocyclones and development of multi-product grading instrument in terms of both theory and industrial applications.
