Classification Unit - Implemented in Dyssol

Cyclone Separator Simulation for Solids-Gas Flowsheets

Model cyclone separation inside drying, granulation, or gas-cleaning flowsheets. Track how particle size and operating conditions change solids and gas outlet streams.

The Dyssol process-unit library includes Cyclone Muschelknautz for solids-gas separation.

Cyclone Muschelknautz in Dyssol

An implemented solids-gas separation unit.

Use the cyclone model to split solids and gas streams after dryers, granulators, or pneumatic transport sections.

Implemented unit

Cyclone Muschelknautz

Solids-gas separator with geometry parameters, gas-entry variants, and separation-efficiency calculation.

Flowsheet role

Gas-cleaning step

Often placed between dryer/granulator units and final gas filtration.

Cyclone separation in the full flowsheet

Route solids and gas products into the next process step.

Define cyclone geometry

Set relevant geometry and entry parameters for the Muschelknautz cyclone model.

Feed solids-gas streams

Connect spray dryer, fluidized bed, granulator, or pneumatic transport units upstream.

Track outlet streams

Evaluate solids and gas outlets with PSD-dependent separation behavior.

Cyclone model scope

Useful when separation quality affects downstream units.

What DyssolPro brings

Capabilities that matter for separation teams.

Dynamic flowsheet simulation

Time-dependent simulation for startup, shutdown, batch, semi-batch, and continuous operating scenarios.

Multidimensional solids properties

Particle-centered modeling with interdependent properties such as size, composition, and moisture across connected units.

Population-balance workflows

PSD tracking and transformation-matrix workflows for process studies where particle size distribution matters.

Custom model development

Model Maker supports implementation, testing, and validation of company-specific unit models.

Typical engineering studies

Common studies for cyclone projects.

Operating-window studies

Compare parameter sets inside the connected process instead of studying one isolated apparatus.

Sensitivity analysis

Use the integrated sensitivity analysis tool for implemented process units in DyssolPro.

Optimization studies

Evaluate process settings against target product properties or process-performance metrics.

Custom-model extension

Extend the model library when a project needs proprietary correlations, geometry, or company-specific logic.

Technical FAQ

Does Dyssol include a cyclone separator?

Yes. The process-unit library includes Cyclone Muschelknautz.

Does the cyclone model split solids and gas outlets?

Yes. The unit has an inlet, an outlet solids stream, and an outlet gas stream.

Can it be connected after dryers or pneumatic transport?

Yes. It is a normal flowsheet unit and can be connected with upstream and downstream units.
