Abstract:
A device for processing a fluid F comprising at least one fraction A to be separated, the fraction to be separated being soluble in a solvent phase, comprising:at least one delivery line for the fluid F to be processed;at least one delivery line for the solvent phase for coupling to a source of solvent;at least one two-phase compression device, in fluid communication with the at least one fluid delivery line and at least one solvent phase delivery line and having at least one output, and operable to provide homogenization of the fluid F and the solvent phase which dissolves most of the fraction A in the solvent phase and produces a mixture of a solution F1 comprising solvent phase S and the fraction A dissolved in the solvent phases and of a fluid F2 which has been depleted of most of the fraction A; anda separation device coupled to an output of the at least one two-phase compression device which discharges respectively solution F1 comprising the solvent phase and the fraction A dissolved in the solvent phase and fluid F2; and whereinthe at least one two-phase compression device comprises at least one rotodynamic pump.
