The object of this research is to compare the performance of Stairmand and Lapple type cyclone separators. The main problem to be solved in this research is determining which Stairmand or Lapple type cyclone separator is more suitable for integration into the pyrolysis system. The comparison is based on key performance indicators: pressure drop and collecting efficiency. The research findings indicate that both Stairmand and Lapple cyclone separators exhibit similar trends in pressure drop and collecting efficiency. As inlet velocity increases, the pressure drop also increases for both types. However, the collecting efficiency initially rises but then declines when inlet velocities exceed 13 m/s. The Lapple variant achieved a peak collecting efficiency of 98.94 % and pressure drop 16.26 mbar at an inlet velocity of 13 m/s, whereas the Stairmand design reached 97.33 % and pressure drop 12.16 mbar at 13 m/s inlet velocity. The Lapple type cyclone separator outperformed the Stairmand type in terms of both of pressure drop and collecting efficiency. This superiority is attributed to the specific design features and characteristics of the Lapple type. The superior performance of the Lapple type cyclone separator can be explained by its unique design elements that contribute to improved particulate matter separation and pressure drop. These elements may include differences in cylinder height and particulate matter outlet diameter. Based on the findings of this research, the Lapple type cyclone separator is recommended for integration into pyrolysis systems. However, it is important to consider the specific operating conditions of the pyrolysis process, such as temperature, the particulate matter size distribution, flow rate, and desired separation efficiency
