Purification Chamber

The Purification Chamber is a machine added by Mekanism and is a part of the Mekanism ore processing system (see below). It is also used as a component in the crafting of Basic Purifying Factory and Chemical Injection Chamber.

The Purification Chamber requires energy to operate, which can be supplied by placing a generator or energy storage next to it, or via cable. In addition to the machines from Mekanism, the generators, energy storages and cables of all supported power systems (IndustrialCraft 2, Thermal Dynamics, BuildCraft and Tesla) can be used to supply it.

Furthermore, the Purification Chamber requires oxygen or Flint as consumable. The basic consumption is 16 Flint respectively ~180 mB oxygen per processed unit. If the Speed Upgrade is installed, the consumption of flint respectively oxygen and energy rises. With the Gas Upgrade the flint or gas consumption can be reduced. With the Energy Upgrade the internal energy storage can be increased and the consumption reduced. The following tables shows some consumption and storage values for one processed unit.

In addition, the Muffling Upgrade can be installed to reduce the noise.

Ore-Processing
The Enrichment Chamber processes various materials depending on the tier of the ore-processing system.

Tier 1
The Purification Chamber is not needed in a tier 1 ore-processing system.

GUI and Usage
With a right-click on the block, the player opens the GUI.

The red slot is for the material to be processed, and the product appears in the blue slot.

The green slot and the fill level indicator on the right side are for the energy. Inside the green slot the player can place e.g. a loaded Basic Energy Cube to power the machine, if no external power supply is connected.

The purple slot is for the consumable.

The upper-left button (called "Side Config") opens the configuration of the cube, where the player can set which side should receive energy as well as receive or emits items. Also If a side is disabled, no cable connects on this side. If the player holds the Configurator in his hand, the cube displays a color code on the side the player is looking at. Grey means "Off", green means "Input energy", red means "Input item" and blue means "Output item". With a shift-right-click the player can change the configuration of each side.

The middle-left button (called "Transporter Config") opens a GUI which allows the player to define specific rules for routing items if mechanical pipes are connected.

With the lower-left button the player can change the displayed energy system between Energy Units, Redstone Flux, Minecraft Joules, and Tesla. The change only affects the display, the energy is still available in all forms inside the system.

The upper-right button opens the upgrade GUI. Here the player can add upgrades e.g. the Energy Upgrade to improve energy efficiency.

With the middle-right button the player can configure the access rights for this block.

With the lower-right button the player can change the behavior in conjunction with Redstone. For example if the option is set to "High", then Metallurgic Infuser operates only if a redstone signal reaches the cube.
