Abstract (en)

A cyclone separation apparatus 1 is described for at least partially separating one or more materials carried in a fluid. The apparatus 1 includes a cyclone body 2 having a generally part conical part 6 in which fluid entering through inlet 4 is encouraged to follow a helical path around a centrally located elongate member 12. The elongate member 12 serves to stabilise the flow of fluid through the cyclone body 2, and a coaxial arrangement 8 of tubes 9, 10 is provided at the narrow end of the part conical part 6 to extract the separated components of the fluid. <IMAGE>
