Liquid/gas separator includes two independent motors, one for pumping mixture and other for drawing off extracted gas. Two materials moved at speeds best suited for them. Liquid expelled radially outward from separator rotor. Entrained gas released, flows axially through rotor, and leaves through fan at downstream end. Unit developed to separate air from urine in spacecraft wastewater-treatment system, also functions in normal gravity. Made largely of titanium to resist corrosion.
