ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of the solid phase separation with the Coanda Effect separator was discovered by
Henry Coanda in 1914 and a mathematical formula was presented by Albert Metral in 1934. The phenomenon,
which was observed as attraction of the fluid jet to a nearby surface, was used by the Swedish in 1990
for the construction of a separator, named the Aquatron 90. Laboratory analyses of the solid phase separation
with the Aquatron 90 were conducted at the Agricultural University in Kraków 2006-07. The research was performed
using a half-technical scale on the fully-measured station equipped with an Aquatron 90 separator. The
efficiency of separation was obtained and measured as 96.24% at the fall of the input pipe (i) equal 2%. The
results were then statistically analyzed using JVT Statistica 6.0 software. The one-component analysis results
were presented through score estimation and multi-componential methods. The conclusion was subsequently
developed from these findings.
