Abstract
A compressible fluid separator pump includes a crankshaft, four cylinders, and four pistons. Each cylinder includes an inlet including an inlet valve for mixed fluid comprising a target component and a discharge component, a reject outlet including a reject valve for a reject fluid, and a select outlet for a select fluid, wherein each of the select outlets includes a separator member that prefers the target component over the discharge component such that the target component is at a higher concentration in the select fluid than in the mixed fluid and in the reject fluid. Each piston is connected to the crankshaft and is positioned in one of the four cylinders, and the crankshaft is configured to position two of the pistons at top dead center when the other two of the pistons are at bottom dead center.
