A device for separating a component out of a multicomponent mixture. The device has a housing that extends along a central longitudinal axis. The housing has a top end and a bottom end, and defines a channel that extends from the top end of the housing around the central axis to the bottom end of the housing to define a helical flow path. The device also includes an inlet port at the top end of the housing that communicates with the channel, and a first outlet port.
