Abstract
A hydrocyclone separation system is disclosed for separating a liquid mixture into at least two different density components. A central outlet of a primary separation chamber is in fluid communication with a tangential inlet of at least one secondary chamber via a conduit extending therebetween, whereby a rotating stream of the low density components exiting the central outlet of the primary separation chamber passes through the conduit and enters the secondary separation chamber with the same direction of rotation.
