Ensuring the Reliability of Separation Equipment Based on Parameter Identification of the Operation Process

The research paper is aimed at improving the scientific and methodological approach for ensuring the reliability of technological equipment of energy-efficient modular separation devices by means of identifying the parameters of the refined mathematical models describing the main and secondary hydromechanical processes. Based on the critical review of the recent achievements in the field of separation and purification technologies, it is shown that combining vibrational-inertial separation allows one to increase both the separation efficiency and a range of the implementation of the corresponding technological equipment. Due to the object of study which is the separation processes of multicomponent heterogeneous systems, the assumption is that the separation efficiency can be increased by the proper organization of flow modes. As a result, the refined mathematical model of the gas-liquid flow is proposed. This model allows one to evaluate the total response of the dispersed phase on the vibrating wall and to determine the trajectories of dropping particles. Finally, the methodology for determining the separation time and the effective length of gutters for capturing dispersed liquid is presented.
