  Introduction The design of using a single cyclone connected to each particulate matter source point is common in many industrial applications. In spite of the fact that each cyclone has been designed to handle separation of particles, there are many situations where a single cyclone is inadequate for the particle collection task. In such situations, it is often feasible to use multiple units either in series, in parallel, or both. Multiple-cyclone separators in series consist of a number of individual cyclones. They are usually used in two cases: inlet dust loading is high and, emission from single cyclone configuration would be too high.  Cyclones in series When cyclones in series are feasible, a second, or even a third separator can be added in series with the first stage separator to collect additional solids. It is customary to refer to the individual stages as the “primary,” “secondary,” and “tertiary” stages or simply as the “first,” “second,” and “third” stage. Sketch...
