Product Overview
The most technologically advanced Hydrocyclone on the market. Because of its 15 to 25 micron separation, Kapwell has created this unit to provide the best possible performance. The flow rate of each cone is constantly 100 GPM, even in the most demanding applications.
Inline involute feed desilter cones, consisting of high wear resistant polyurethane, are used to reduce turbulence and increase tangential velocity in desilter high volume round and inline involute feed desilter cones. Desilters are meant to remove silt-sized (20 to 74 microns) materials from drilling fluids, and they are used in the oil and gas industry.
Individual cone removal and inspection are made possible by the use of isolation valves installed on the entrance of each desilter cone. This prevents the desilter from being stopped during the operation.

Applications
Oil and Gas Industry
Desilter hydrocyclones are widely used in the oil and gas industry for offshore and onshore production facilities to remove fine solid particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, from wellhead fluids, drilling mud, or completion fluids. This helps to prevent damage to downstream equipment, and maintain the desired properties of drilling mud or completion fluids for efficient drilling or well completion operations.
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Desilter hydrocyclones are used in water and wastewater treatment processes to remove fine solid particles from raw water or wastewater. They are typically used as a part of the pre-treatment process to protect downstream equipment, such as filters, membranes, and disinfection systems, from clogging and fouling.
Environmental Remediation
Desilter hydrocyclones are used in environmental remediation processes, such as groundwater or soil cleanup, to remove fine solid particles from water or slurry. This helps to separate and remove contaminants from water or soil for effective environmental cleanup.
Construction and Dredging
Desilter hydrocyclones are used in construction and dredging operations to remove fine solid particles from water during excavation or dredging activities. This helps to maintain water quality, prevent clogging of equipment, and ensure efficient operation of construction or dredging processes.
Mining and Mineral Processing
Desilter hydrocyclones are used in mining and mineral processing operations to remove fine solid particles from slurries or process water. They are commonly used in ore processing, tailings management, and water treatment processes to improve the efficiency of solid-liquid separation and ensure the quality of processed materials.
