Together with the air there will be a water flow out of the pump up to 6 m3/h.
The water will be separated from the air in the liquid separator.
Depending of the size of particles, water will be carried with the water when the air velocity is more than
3-4 m/s.
The inlet speed to the separator can be more than 50 m/s and this must be reduced to 3 m/s.
Below you find an illustration showing how to reduce the speed and control that no water will be in contact
with the high velocity air stream. The round velocity reducer can be placed inside any tank geometry.

øD so the velocity is below 3 m/s
H=4 to 6*d depending on the geometry. A smooth diameter conversion will give a low factor.
