1. Type of technology Dry collection. 2. Contaminants which can be removed Dusts in general. 3. Emission limits possible Collection efficiency up to 95%. 4. Description of the equipment and/or process As the name suggests, these are dust collectors made up of various cyclones in parallel. They have been designed for handling heavy flows without the cyclone units assuming prohibitive dimensions. The multicyclones consist of a certain number, sometimes very high, of small diameter collection units, arranged in parallel according to widely differing technical and design solutions. The use of small diameter units allows obtaining high settling efficiencies, because the efficiency increases as the diameter of the unit decreases, when all other conditions remain the same. . The limitations in this case are: too high dust concentrations in the air which could create problems of plugging, higher installations costs as compared with normal cyclones owing to the difficulty in manufacturing this type of equipment. The latter reason discourages its use as pre-cleaner but only as single dust collectors.
