2. Air separation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_separation

   Air separation. An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases. The most common method for air separation is fractional distillation. Cryogenic air separation units (ASUs) are built to provide nitrogen or oxygen and often co ...

3. Vapor–liquid separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_separator

   In chemical engineering, a vapor–liquid separator is a device used to separate a vapor–liquid mixture into its constituent phases. It can be a vertical or horizontal vessel, and can act as a 2-phase or 3-phase separator. A vapor–liquid separator may also be referred to as a flash drum, breakpot, knock-out drum or knock-out pot, compressor ...

4. Cyclonic separation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclonic_separation

   Cyclonic separation is a method of removing particulates from an air, gas or liquid stream, without the use of filters, through vortex separation. When removing particulate matter from liquid, a hydrocyclone is used; while from gas, a gas cyclone is used. Rotational effects and gravity are used to separate mixtures of solids and fluids.

5. Dissolved air flotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_air_flotation

   Dissolved air flotation. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin.

6. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

   An API oil–water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of oil and suspended solids from the wastewater effluents of oil refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial sources. The name is derived from the fact that such separators are designed according to API ...

7. Air cycle machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cycle_machine

   Cooling the air has caused any water vapor it contains to condense into fog, which can be removed using a cyclonic separator. Historically, the water extracted by the separator was simply dumped overboard, but newer ACMs spray the water into the outside-air intakes for each heat exchanger, which gives the coolant a greater heat capacity and ...
