FLOW DIVIDER AND SEPARATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a flow divider (1) promoting separation, said flow divider (1) comprising an inlet (2), at least one dividing fin (3), and two or more outlets (4, 5). According to the present invention a pipeline (7) leading to the inlet (2) is sufficiently long to promote at least a degree of separation of a fluid that is carried through the pipeline (7) and that initially is mixed (6), the lighter constituents flowing through a top section of the pipeline (7), and the heavier constituents flowing through a bottom section of the pipeline (7), wherein the at least one dividing fin (3) is/are arranged either vertically and/or horizontally in order to divide the flow into two or more smaller flow streams downstream of the flow divider (1).
