✦ Synopsis

A new process for separating particles from turbulent gas streams is proposed. The process is based on annular two-phase upward flow for particle retention. High efficiencies are obtained with this method. Experimental tests are performed with the use of lycopodium seeds (--32 pm), aluminium oxide particles ( -1 Frn) and sooty dust ( -5-500 Fm). A mathematical method interpreting separator behaviour has been developed by means of Hutchinson, Hewitt and Duckler's theory.
