The described gas separator may be used for operating an electric submersible pump at high speeds as well as over a wide range of speeds and flowrates without replacing downhole equipment.

The present invention relates to a method and/or device for improving the separation behaviors and performance of aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for the isolation and/or concentration of one or more target analytes from a sample. In one embodiment, the present method and device comprise ATPS components within a porous material and one or more phase separation behavior modifying agents that improve the separation behavior and performance characteristics of ATPS, including but not limited to the increasing the stability or reducing fluctuations of ATPS thought the adjustment of total volume of a sample solution that undergoes phase separation, volume ratio of the two phases of the ATPS, fluid flow rates, and concentrations of ATPS components.

A fluid management system and method includes a thermal management system disposed within a housing that includes conduits extending between a source and a destination of a first fluid. The first fluid exchanges heat with cooling devices as the first fluid moves between the source and the destination. A fluid mixture including the first fluid and a second fluid, and an exhaust are generated responsive to the first fluid exchanging heat with the cooling devices. The exhaust directed toward an outlet of the housing. A separator assembly fluidly coupled with and disposed downstream of the thermal management system receives the fluid mixture and separates the first fluid from the second fluid. The first fluid is directed in a first direction out of the separator assembly and the second fluid is directed toward the outlet to be combined with the exhaust.

A base station (1) and a bioprocess system (3), wherein said base station (1) comprises: a frame or housing (5), wherein said frame or housing comprises a number of valves (7a-f, 9a-d, 11a-f, 13a-e, 15a-f) into which a disposable tubing set (21) during run of the system is provided such that at least one inlet (23a-j) of the disposable tubing set is connected to at least one outlet (25a-f) of the disposable tubing set via a bioprocess separation device (31) of the bioprocess system (3); and a movable pump holding device (35), which can be provided in at least two different positions, whereof one is within the frame or housing (5) and another is at least partly outside the frame or housing (5) and which comprises at least one pump main body (37), said pump main body comprising a connection (39) configured for connecting to a disposable pump connection part (27) comprised in the disposable tubing set (21).

Various embodiments relate to devices and methods for treating a mixture of expansion gas and filling product foam in a beverage filling plant, comprising the steps of introducing the mixture of expansion gas and filling product foam into a closed separation container and extracting the expansion gas out of the closed separation container via suction.

In a separation instrument configured to separate a gaseous substance from a solution contained in a container, the separation instrument includes: a first end; a second end; and a side surface provided between the first end and the second end, wherein a plurality of gas introduction grooves configured to swirl a gas and introduce the gas into the container are formed on the side surface between the first end and the second end, and a discharge hole configured to discharge the gaseous substance separated from the solution together with the gas is formed between a center portion of the second end and a center portion of the first end.

The present invention relates to a device for liquid degassing by means of swirling or centrifugal force coupled with a pressure gradient. This device comprises a cavity. The cavity is furnished with an inlet for liquid-gas mixture, a gas outlet and a liquid outlet. The gas outlet is inserted into the cavity through the top end of the cavity and positioned around 0.1-3 times the maximum diameter of the cavity from the top of the cavity. Specifically, an overflow pipe with the diameter gradually increasing from the bottom to the top was used as the gas outlet. The overflow pipe is further furnished with a bell mouth at the bottom part.

The present invention relates to a gas/liquid separator. According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a gas/liquid separator, including a housing including a first supply part and a second supply part; a rotary shaft rotatably provided to the housing; a drive unit configured to rotate the rotary shaft; fixed cones disposed in an interior of the housing and each including a tilted area, diameters of which are decreased in a direction from the first supply part to the second supply part, a first through-hole, which passes the rotary shaft, and at least one second through-hole, through which a second fluid introduced via the second supply part passes; and rotary cones disposed in an interior of the housing so as to be spaced apart from the fixed cones and installed at the rotary shaft so as to rotate about the rotary shaft.

A crude oil demulsification system includes a vessel. A cyclonic separator is disposed outside the vessel. The cyclonic separator is configured to receive and separate phases of a multi-phase fluid stream into a gaseous stream and a liquid stream that includes a first liquid phase and a second liquid phase by inducing cyclonic flow. A heat exchanger is fluidically connected to the cyclonic separator. The heat exchanger is disposed outside the vessel, and is configured to receive the liquid stream and to heat the liquid stream by exchanging heat with a heating medium flowed through the heat exchanger. An electrostatic coalescer is fluidically connected to the heat exchanger and is disposed inside the vessel. The electrostatic coalescer is configured to receive the liquid stream heated by the heat exchanger and to demulsify the liquid stream by causing coalescence of liquid droplets of one of the first or second liquid phases.
