Abstract
A separator system for use in removing liquid from a surface, which surface may be liquid or solid. The system consists of a pickup head, a separator, and an exhaust source which draws air through the pickup head and separator. The pickup head causes liquid to be entrained in the flow of air passing through it. The air and entrained liquid pass to the outer chamber of the separator where the liquid falls out and the air is fed through the inner chamber of the separator to the exhaust source.
