A fluid separation apparatus for removing one fluid component from another fluid component in a fluid stream includes an impeller disposed between an annular inlet chamber and a first fluid chamber having a hollow, conical trapezoidal shape with a diameter that reduces along a portion of the length of the first fluid chamber. The impeller redirects a liquid flowing in a circular swirling flow path along the wall of the inlet chamber to an outlet an inlet of the first fluid chamber disposed adjacent the central axis of the first fluid chamber. A coaxially aligned extraction pipe extends into a lighter density fluid envelope formed in the first fluid chamber adjacent the inlet of the first fluid chamber. The extraction pipe may be dynamically adjustable based on the shape of the lighter density fluid envelope to maximize removal of lighter density fluid from the lighter density fluid envelope. 本公开提供了一种用于从流体流中的一种流体成分中去除另一种流体成分的流体分离装置，所述流体分离装置包括叶轮，所述叶轮设置在环形进口室和第一流体室之间，所述第一流体室具有中空梯形圆锥形状，其中直径沿着所述第一流体室的长度的一部分减小。所述叶轮
