A wash separator (1) comprises a vessel (2) containing a first fluid (3) and a second fluid (4) whereby the second fluid (4) has a differentdensity from the first fluid (3). The first fluid (3) is immiscible with the second fluid (4) and the first and second fluids are separated fromeach other by an interface (5), wherein a feed stream (15, 24, 31, 61) is provided, the feed stream (15, 24, 31, 61) comprising a dispersion of the first and second fluid (3,4), such that the second fluid (4) is forming a dispersephase in the form of droplets which is distributed within the first fluid (3) forming a continuous phase. A distribution element (6) is provided in the vessel (2) to distribute the feed stream (15, 24, 31, 61) into the second fluid (4), wherein the feed stream (15, 24, 31, 61) after having discharged from said distribution element (6) has a retention time of at most 15 minutes in the second fluid in the vessel. |
