and that steam or air has higher pressure than lube oil,
which keep travelling continuously towards lube oil and
then to main oil tank, a mist eliminator / vapor extractors
is installed on the tank to remove the steam / air vapors
in order to maintain the purity of lube oil, otherwise it
will be contaminated and its purity and acidity will be
changed quickly.
