This idea was mainly used in common three-phase hydrocyclone design. Another was hybridization that combined one hydrocyclone with coagulation, filtration or flotation (Colic et al., 2007), which was higher efficiency than the former. The defection was that integrated equipment needed high-energy consumption and manufacturing cost.
The reason is that the incoherence of the bottom outlet structure weakens the guiding effect of the hydrocyclone wall on the fluid, expanding the probability of fluid collision, redirection, and other behaviors, improving the energy consumption of hydrocyclone separation.

An ideal hydrocyclone has a high classification power, a low energy consumption, and a high solid concentration in the underflow stream. However, some processes do not require all of these features simultaneously.
In addition, the increase in turbulent kinetic energy led to an increase in energy consumption, which was not conducive to the improvement of the comprehensive performance of the hydrocyclone. Therefore, choosing an appropriate feed rate is of great significance to the regulation of the flow field and the improvement of hydrocyclone …

A high classification power provides a low concentration of solids in the underflow stream and demands high energy consumption. Similarly, a hydrocyclone geometry that leads to a high concentration of solids in the underflow stream causes the power of classification to be impaired.
That is, the energy loss and turbulent energy dissipation in this region is severe . Thus, controlling the central region of the hydrocyclone or controlling the turbulent structure at the spiral flow area is a highly effective method to improve performance .

Especially, the removal of microplastics from drinking water plants or freshwater is more challenging due to the small size of these particles. Given that hydrocyclone designs significantly impact separation efficiency, production rate, and energy consumption, varying designs in experiments incurs costs and time.
Euler number is a dimensionless measure of the energy consumed per unit volume of flow in a hydrocyclone and is influenced by both the pressure and velocity of the flow field. It can be related to the energy consumption of hydrocyclone operation: the smaller the value of Eu, the lower the energy consumption, see equation 25 [54].

The extremes of energy consumption exhibited by the L and M configurations can be attributed to the particularities of separator geometry dimensions. An increase in the feed and overflow diameters causes the fluid inside the hydrocyclone to transfer energy gradually in the form of pressure (Vieira et al., 2011).
