HYDROCYCLONE technology cleans waste without harmful chemicals. It offers a solution to engineers in various industrial processes who are seeking environmental improvements and trying to improve quality without increasing production costs and efficiency without reducing quality.

The Mozley unit embodies 100-millimetre-diameter standard abrasion-resistant hydrocyclones and can recover calcium sulphate from neutralised effluent prior to filtration.

The UK company, based in Redruth, Cornwall, south-west England, specialises in separation technology for solids, liquids and gases. Axsia Mozley’s solid/liquid hydrocyclones with diamteres from 10 millimetres (mm) upwards are recognised globally as a most efficient method of diverse separation and classification in many industries.

The oil and gas industry benefits from Axsia Mozley’s hydrocyclone technology for wellhead de-sanding (the removal of abrasive solids from produced oil, water and gases), sand-washing and sludge processing (removing oil and contaminants from sands by hydrocyclone scrubbing), and liquid separation (the removal of oil droplets from produced waters to reach international environmental standards).

The minerals and chemical industries benefit by using hydrocyclones for recovery, classification, de-sliming and thickening of a range of metalliferous and industrial minerals. Many provide energy-saving solutions. Corn and potato starch recovery and processing benefits by producing quality starch products and at the same time making a significant reduction in effluent discharges.

Axsia Mozley’s latest multi-gravity separator is also used worldwide in applications ranging from the recovery and upgrading of precious metals, base metal oxides, sulphides, barytes, celestite, and fluorspar. Fine coal with a high sulphur content — which would be used as fuel or disposed of — can now be processed to significantly reduce the sulphur and provide much safer low-sulphur fuel, offering environmental and other benefits.
