A gravity separator for a multi-phase effluent

摘要

A gravity separator S separates a phase O from a multiphase fluid mixture E. The gravity separator comprises a collector 1 for collecting the phase O, and a draining circuit 3 coupled to the collector 1 for draining the phase O out of the separator. <??>The gravity separator S further comprises a floating assembly 2 coupled to the collector 1. The floating assembly is arranged to float at an interface GLI between the phase and another phase so that the collector is positioned in the multiphase fluid mixture present in the gravity separator S for collecting substantially the phase O. <IMAGE>
