Claims17
A method of increasing the size of oil particulates in an oil mist comprising the oil particulates, the method comprising:
- directing a stream of gas towards a plasma source to generate an ionised gas stream;
- and
- directing the ionised gas stream towards the oil mist comprising the oil particulates to convert a portion of the oil particulates into agglomerated oil particulates.
An apparatus for removing oil mist, comprising:
- a plasma chamber comprising a plasma source for ionising gas, said plasma chamber having an ionised gas outlet that is configured to direct the ionised gas towards the oil mist, so as to allow mixing of the ionised gas with the oil mist.
