Apparatus for separating multi-phase liquid mixtures or at least partially separating a more dense liquid component of the mixture from a less dense liquid component thereof. An outer casing has a cavity therein, an intake port through which the mixture is fed to the apparatus, a first outlet port from which the less dense liquid component is discharged and a second outlet port from which the more dense liquid component is discharged. A cyclone separator is located within the cavity and has a plurality of separating chambers, each chamber having a primary portion which has a greater cross-sectional dimension at one end than at its other end and having a feed inlet, an overflow outlet at the end of the separating chamber of greater cross sectional dimension and an under flow outlet at the other end, and a closure for one end of the cavity. The underflow outlets of the separating chambers communicate with the cavity so that the more dense component of the mixture passes into the cavity to be discharged through the second outlet port, and the overflow outlet from each separator chamber leads to an overflow outlet passage at least partially formed by the closure and then to the first outlet port, the overflow outlet passage being disposed between the intake port and the second outlet port. |
