A flotation separator for the separation of a dispersed liquid phase and/or suspended solid materials from a continuous liquid phase containing free gas including; an open or closed vessel ( 1 ) which is completely or partially liquid filled, is equipped with one or several inlet nozzles ( 2 ) feeding the inflowing mixture through one or several distribution chambers ( 13 ) toward one or several substantially vertically arranged cyclone pipes ( 15 ). Each cyclone pipe ( 15 ) is equipped with a swirl generating inlet device ( 14 ), a lower exit ( 16 ) where continuous liquid phase is exiting the cyclone pipe ( 15 ), and an upper exit ( 17 ) where gas, the dispersed liquid, and/or suspended solids, together with parts of the continuous liquid phase are exiting the cyclone pipe ( 15 ). The upper exit port ( 17 ) of the cyclone pipe or pipes ( 15 ) is completely or partially submerged in the continuous liquid phase. |
