Abstract:
Apparatus for separating a gas from a liquid includes a degassing tank for receiving a mixture of the gas and liquid. The tank permits the gas to separate from the mixture and rise to the top of the tank and permits the liquid to separate from the mixture and settle to the bottom of the tank. The apparatus includes a vacuum regulator for withdrawing the separated gas from the degassing tank, a level detector for measuring the level of fluid in the degassing tank and a controller responsive to the level detector for controlling the vacuum regulator and reducing the gas flow therefrom as the fluid level in the degassing tank increases.
