The Inline Swirl Generator (ISG*) liquid/liquid (LL) and solid/liquid (SL) hydrocyclones utilize hydrocyclone technology to separate two liquids or a liquid and a solid of differing densities. The benefit of ISG* hydrocyclones is derived from the use of the ISG* hydrocyclone head which provides greatly enhanced separation efficiencies.

ISG* hydrocyclones can be used as separators in their own right, or upstream from another ACQUA separator, the Vertical Gravity Separator (VGS*).

Entering the hydrocyclone at high velocity through the ISG* head inlets, the liquid follows a spiral path near the vessel wall that forms a strong downward vortex. Large or heavy particles separate to the wall and are pushed down out of the cyclone. In the case of a ISG* LL hydrocyclone, this is the heavy water phase which can be discharged to the sewer. For a ISG* SL hydrocyclone, this is pushed out of the cyclone as a slurry or a paste.

The remaining liquid is pushed back through the ISG* hydrocyclone in an inner vortex and is either discharged to sewer or another ACQUA separator, such as the VGS*, depending on the quality of wastewater.
