The phrase "Non-aqueous phase liquid" is used when one has a two or more phase system in which one of the liquid is water.
The "Non-aqueous phase liquid" is a liquid other than water which is not soluble in water and so forms another layer, whether under or above the water layer.
Often encountered when extracting chemicals from water solutions, a solvent like Diethyl ether is less dense and will float on top of the water layer. Other solvents like Dichloromethane (Methylene chloride) or Chloroform are more dense than water and will sink below the aqueous (water) layer.
