The '''Electrolytic Separator''' separates water or brine into useful gases.


==Description==
The Electrolytic Separator requires a constant supply of power and must have a source of a suitable liquid in order to produce the gases. As the liquid is electrolyzed, the component gases will be stored in its internal tanks. Should either tank fill completely, the Separator will turn off. Connecting a [[Pressurized Tube]] or other compatible pipe to both tanks will remove the gas. If you are only using a single gas, selecting "dump" for the unused gas will vent it to the environment, preventing that internal tank from filling completely and stopping the Separator.
Electrolytically separates liquids into their components [[Gases]].

As of Mekanism 7.1 (Minecraft 1.7.10) the Electrolytic Separator requires 400 joules of power (J/t).  


==Power Generation==
'''Please note''' that while the Electrolytic Separator does take [[Energy Upgrade]]s, they don't actually affect the machine's energy efficiency, [https://github.com/aidancbrady/Mekanism/issues/2743#issuecomment-111720319 for balancing purposes].
With an [[Electric Pump]], [[Electrolytic Separator]] and [[Hydrogen Generator]] there is net positive energy generation as long as water is being provided to the pump.

The Electrolytic Separator separates water or brine into useful gases.

The Electrolytic Separator requires a constant supply of power and must have a source of a suitable liquid in order to produce the gases. As the liquid is electrolyzed, the component gases will be stored in its internal tanks. Should either tank fill completely, the Separator will turn off. Connecting a Pressurized Tube or other compatible pipe to both tanks will remove the gas. If you are only using a single gas, selecting "dump" for the unused gas will vent it to the environment, preventing that internal tank from filling completely and stopping the Separator.

As of Mekanism 7.1 (Minecraft 1.7.10) the Electrolytic Separator requires 400 joules of power (J/t).

Please note that while the Electrolytic Separator does take Energy Upgrades, they don't actually affect the machine's energy efficiency, for balancing purposes.
