Abstract
According to the invention there is provided an apparatus (10) for recovering methane from a flow of water containing methane. The apparatus (10) comprises an turbulence generator (11) configured to receive the flow of water. The apparatus (10) also comprises a separator (12) configured to receive an outflow of the turbulence generator (11) and to separate the outflow of the turbulence generator (11) into a first outflow of the separator (12) and a second outflow of the separator (12). The first outflow of the separator (12) is a gas phase comprising a separated fraction of the dissolved methane.
