Hydrocyclone Separator Oil and Gas Separator
As is the case with flotation units, hydrocyclone separator do not appear to work well with oil droplets less than 10 to 20 microns in diameter. Performance is chiefly influenced by reject ratio and pressure drop ratio (PDR). The reject ratio refers to the ratio of the reject fluid rate to the total inlet fluid rate.

Hydrocyclone Wikipedia
A hydrocyclone (often referred to by the shortened form cyclone) is a device to classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance.This ratio is high for dense (where separation by density is required) and coarse (where separation by size is required) particles, and low for light and fine particles.
Hydrocyclone Feed Pump & Pressure PSI vs Operating Parameters
For a hydrocyclone to work at peak efficiency the volume of slurry and the feed pump delivery pressure must remain constant. If the cyclone feed pump is allowed to SURGE, the up and down pressure will cause poor separation at the point of high and low operating pressure. There is a cycle to a surging pump box that causes this pressure fluctuation.

The Sizing & Selection of Hydrocyclones
THE SIZING AND SELECTION OF HYDROCYCLONES By Richard A.

Produced water treatment equipment Low Shear School
If the system pressure is low, hydrocyclones may require a low shear pump to increase the operating pressure. Due to the number of liners in use being relatively static, hydrocyclone efficiency is also affected by changes in the water flow rate. This can cause changing differential pressure which affects the separation efficiency. Centrifuge
