The Gravity Separation Mixture Fluid: Detailed Description of the Device and Possible Applications

Abstract

The system Gravity Separation Mixture Fluid (GSMF) is a device designed and patented by Stefano Farnè and Vito Lavanga, described in the scientific paper “The Gravity Separation Mixture Fluid: An Innovative Method and Device to Separate the Components in a Gas, Liquid or Vapour Mixture”. GSMF allows to separate a mixture into its various components with different specific weights, exploiting the stationing of the fluid in the spaces created by each of two packs of honeycomb which, in addition to increasing the surface useful for the separation of the mixture, provides the vertical space useful for eliminate the horizontal motions that would make the gravimetric separation process vain. The flow necessary for the passage inside the device is guaranteed by inlet and outlet draining pipes from which to extract the different phases of the mixture, arranged in an arrangement for three-dimensional reverse return.
