A centrifugal separator for cleaning gas containing contaminants includes a stationary casing, enclosing a separation space through which a gas flow is permitted, a gas inlet extending through the stationary casing and permitting supply of the gas to be cleaned, a rotating member including a plurality of separation members arranged in the separation space and being arranged to rotate around an axis of rotation. The separator includes a gas outlet arranged in the stationary casing and configured to permit discharge of cleaned gas and including an outlet opening through a wall of the stationary casing, a drainage outlet arranged in the stationary casing and configured to permit discharge of liquid contaminants separated from the gas to be cleaned. The separator includes a turbine casing in which a turbine wheel that is drivingly connected to the rotating member is arranged; and a nozzle arranged for directing a jet of pressurized liquid towards the turbine wheel, thereby rotating said turbine wheel. The turbine casing includes a turbine outlet for drainage of the liquid used for rotating said turbine wheel. The turbine casing has a geometry such that the liquid used for rotating said turbine wheel is leaving said turbine outlet with a remaining kinetic energy that is higher than the energy obtained from gravity alone.

A compact rotating fluid stabilizer and multiphase separator system separates a multiphase input fluid flow and delivers single phase liquid streams at elevated pressure from inlet conditions. A separator housing with a lower separation chamber and an upper separation chamber rotates about a central axis. The input flow is received into the lower separation chamber and centrifuged into its constituent phases. A gaseous phase migrates through a rotary structured packing up a center tube and exits through a discharge pipe atop the housing. A heavy liquid phase is delivered at high pressure through a first diffuser ring with permeable gas tip seals supplied by high pressure gas. A lighter liquid phase migrates over a weir into an upper separation chamber and is delivered to a second diffuser ring. The compressor reduces vapor pressure to stabilize the light liquid phase.
