Advanced Cyclone Systems, S.A., (ACS) is a Portuguese company exclusively dedicated to the development and commercialisation of the most efficient cyclone systems worldwide.  Commercial representation of ACS in South Africa is via Scion Technologies.

ACS Cyclone applications include particulate matter (PM) emission control in boilers and furnaces and product recovery in the mineral, chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.  Products include numerically optimised cyclones – Hurricanes, which are more efficient than any other cyclone geometry in the market in terms of equivalent pressure drop and PM removal efficiency, and mechanical or electrostatic recirulating cyclones - ReCyclone® Systems, which achieve baghouse (or ESP) efficiencies with lower investment costs.

Electrostatic recirculation for fine powder capture was the winner of the 2008 National Environmental Innovation Award.  This prize, sponsored by the Environmental Ministry and the Portuguese Environmental Agency, aims for the recognition of Portuguese and European innovations that contribute to a better environment.

ReCyclone® Systems were also awarded 4th position in the 2008 European Environmental Press (EEP) Awards.
