Abstract
A hydrocyclone plant comprises a great number of hydrocyclones (1) arranged in a plurality of separate assemblies (10, 10A, 10B). Each hydrocyclone assembly includes branch pipes (6, 6A), to which the hydrocyclones of the assembly are connected in parallel relationship to one another. There are main pipes (13) of the same number as that of the branch pipes of each assembly, the branch pipes of each assembly being connected to said main pipes, respectively. According to the invention, clamping means (8, 9) are provided for releasably clamping each hydrocyclone substantially transversely against at least one of the associated branch pipes (6, 6A) of the latter, and the individual assemblies include various numbers of hydrocyclones, for optimizing the desired capacity of the hydrocyclone plant.
