ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for removing contaminants from a fluid are disclosed. The fluid is introduced into a decontamination chamber such that the fluid is cooled and contaminants fall out within the decontamination chamber, producing a purified fluid. The purified fluid is then retrieved and can be used in a supercritical processing system.
