Abstract:
1. A centrifugal separator for separating gases from a water stream comprising: a housing including an internal centrifuge wall, said wall having a linear central axis with circular cross-section from end to end so as to form a centrifuge chamber; a hollow extractor in said centrifuge chamber, coaxial with said centrifuge wall, said extractor having an outer wall facing and spaced from said centrifuge wall, and an inner wall forming a quiescent region inside said extractor, a plurality of slots extending between said walls of said extractor, said slots having a dimension of length and width, said slots having a sidewall facing laterally relative to said axis, said slots being spaced axially and also laterally apart from one another; an inlet port entering into said separator; an injection nozzle from said inlet port discharging a stream of water and gas to be separated tangentially into said centrifuge region and against said centrifuge wall, a water outlet from said centrifuge region axially spaced from said nozzle, and a gas outlet port through said housing from said quiescent region.
