Physical Separators
in process industries is at levels such as macro, micro and
molecular. Mamko operates on processes where Fluid Mechanism
is the predominant consideration. There are many macro and
micro level processes. Molecular level separation such as
Distillation and Evaporation are where thermal condensations
are dominating factors. This is not in Mamko scope of activities.
Mamko shall consider Physical Separators such as
(1) Flocculators/Coarse Coalescers.
(2) Oil / Water or Water / Oil Emulsion Separators / Fine
Coalescers.
(3) Hydrocyclone.

The Principle here is to bring the particles and droplets closer
sothat they assemble and exist together on flocks and aggregate
or merge into each other to be one large droplet. By use of
clever fluid dynamics it is achieved. Traditionally, large residence
time slow speed agitators are used. This is replaced by slow
flowing streams in a compact device by Mamko. Obviously the
addition of some flocculating agents and the new knowledge of
surface phenomena has helped.
