Cyclones are mostly used for removing industrials dust from air or process gases. They are the principal type of gas-solid separator used because of their simple construction, low cost and ability to operate at high temperatures and pressures. Pollution and emission regulations have compelled designers to study the efficiency of cyclones. The software 'Cyclone' responds to this problem with a convivial interface, easy to use, furnishing a choice of four different models for predicting the cyclone performances and its geometry.
The original software 'Cyclone' was created at the LSGC 'Laboratoire des Sciences du Génie Chimique' by Vincent Mathieu under the direction of Jean-Pierre Leclerc, director of the PROGEPI 'PROmotion du GEnie des Procédés dans l'Industrie'. The project was led in cooperation with Sabine Rode, Noël Midoux and Patrick Contal, members of the LSGC. The graphic part was conceived by Patrick Yax from the company SYSMATEC. The software runs under Windows.
