Is a centrifuge the same as hydrocyclone?
The capabilities of a hydrocyclone are often confused with the capabilities of a centrifuge. A hydrocyclone does separate liquids from solids through centrifugation. It is typically hydraulically driven, which means the fluid is turning the apparatus. A hydrocyclone has no motor or moving parts and is not nearly as efficient as a centrifuge in separating liquids from solids.
