1. A method for processing a fluid, the method comprising:
- sparging a fluid within the compartment of a container with an initial gas so that the initial gas passes through a portion of the fluid to form a humid gas within the compartment;
passing the humid gas out of the compartment of the container and into a flexible condenser bag;
cooling the humid gas within the condenser bag so as to separate the humid gas within the condenser bag into a condensed fluid and a dehumidified gas; and
removing the condensed fluid and the dehumidified gas from the condenser bag.

Abstract
A method for processing a fluid includes sparging a fluid within the compartment of a container with an initial gas so that the initial gas passes through a portion of the fluid to form a humid gas within the compartment. The humid gas is passed out of the compartment of the container and into a flexible condenser bag. The humid gas within the condenser bag is cooled so as to separate the humid gas within the condenser bag into a condensed fluid and a dehumidified gas. The condensed fluid and the dehumidified gas is then removed from the condenser bag.

9. A method for processing a humid gas, the method comprising:
-
passing a humid gas into a compartment of a flexible condenser bag comprised of one or more flexible sheets of polymeric material; cooling the humid gas within the condenser bag so as to separate the humid gas within the condenser bag into a condensed fluid and a dehumidified gas; and removing the condensed fluid and the dehumidified gas from the condenser bag; wherein the condenser bag is mounted on a condenser and the step of cooling the humid gas within the condenser bag comprises passing a cooled fluid through the condenser so as to cool the condenser which in turn cools the humid gas within the condenser bag. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for processing a humid gas, the method comprising:
-
passing a humid gas into a compartment of a flexible condenser bag comprised of one or more flexible sheets of polymeric material; cooling the humid gas within the condenser bag so as to separate the humid gas within the condenser bag into a condensed fluid and a dehumidified gas; and removing the condensed fluid and the dehumidified gas from the condenser bag, the dehumidified gas being removed by exhausting the dehumidified gas through a filter and into the open environment. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
