<p>Present invention relates to a method and apparatus for separating particles from a fluid; particles are dispersed in the fluid and consist of lighter particles with lower density than the bulk, and heavier particles with a density higher than the bulk, method comprises the following steps: feeding the particle containing fluid to a separation device, evenly distribute the fluid over at least parts of the cross-sectional area by flowing through a distribution device (12) in an inlet chamber (11) providing the particle containing fluid with a specific velocity and leading the fluid to one or more collecting surfaces (5, 9) coalesce the lighter particles on the collecting surface (5, 9) remove the coalesced lighter particles from the collecting surface (5, 9) remove the particle depleted fluid and the lighter coalesced particles in at least two separate streams (2, 3) optionally remove the heavier particles from the bottom of the separation device in at least one separate stream</p> |
