desanegado

English translation: purging

Spanish term or phrase: desanegado
The opposite of "anegar" (to flood). The direct contrast is between:

anegado del rodete (flooding the runner or filling it with water)

desanegado del rodete (a process by which all water is expelled using compressed air).

Choices such as "de-flood", "un-flood", etc. all seem silly and I can't attest them in searches.

Here is some context with the term:

Dimensionamiento y capacidad del sistema de desanegado (GNF está planteando un sistema individual para cada grupo con capacidad para tres (3) desanegados consecutivos (15 minutos) y reposición de capacidad de aire en los 45 minutos siguientes).

Explanation:
Using one fluid to forcefully clear another from a system is generally known as purging. In this case, compressed air is being used to purge water from the runner.
