Abstract

A hydrocyclone (10) is disclosed which includes an internal conical separation chamber (15) which extends axially from a first end to a second end of relatively smaller cross-sectional area than the first end. The separation chamber (15) includes at least one gas inlet device (60) which comprises a plurality of openings in the form of a series of elongate slits (82) arranged in a spaced-apart relationship from one another around an interior circumferential wall (80) of the gas discharge chamber (74). In use the slits (82) are arranged for admission of gas into the separation chamber (15) at a region located between the first and second ends.
