FLUID TREATING APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus that can be used to treat fluids. The apparatus can include a housing with an inlet for receiving a process fluid to be treated, a surface within the housing for treating the process fluid that can be wet by the process fluid, and an outlet for removing treated process fluid. The housing includes a vent that aids in the removal of fluid components that separate from the process fluid. Removal of these separated fluids improves the efficiency and contact of the process fluid with the surfaces in the housing for treating the process fluid.
