Key benefits

  • Efficient, versatile separation of very fine solids
  • Low capital cost, small footprint
  • Easy operation, easy maintenance

Keeping a solid focus on your fine-particle separation needs

When fine particle separation is of utmost importance, only small-diameter cyclones will provide that critical cut point. Our CP (Close-Packed) Vessels use cyclones from 13mm (0.5-in) up to 76mm (3-in) that maximize the unit’s separation abilities and provide a finer cut point than any other cyclone in the industry. CP Vessels are


 

WHAT WE OFFER

Simply effective: industrial desander vessels for fine separation

In a market where numerous industries require separation of fine solids from liquid matter and each situation is unique, we know your solution needs to be thorough and complete. At FLSmidth, we keep a solid (and fluid) focus on hydrocyclone applications throughout all phases of separation.

KREBS® CP Vessels, in a nutshell, are simply pressurized containers that hold from a few up to hundreds of small, high-capacity cyclones. As a system, the vessel uniformly distributes the feed with one feed inlet, and collects the overflow and underflow with one outlet for each. The hydrocyclones are closely packed inside a three-chamber vessel, with stainless steel plates separating the overflow and underflow from the feed chamber.

It all boils down to separation

Our customers always ask about separation. And we tell them our CP Vessels can make separations as fine as 5 microns, depending on their slurry characteristics. 

Typically, we talk in terms of D98, or the point where 98% of solids at a certain size are removed. For example, at an inlet concentration of 1% solids with sand and water, our 50mm (2-in)  will remove 98% of 2.65-specific-gravity solids that are 12 microns and larger.
