A mixture of fluids is separated into at least two phases, one of which has a higher density than the other, passing the mixture through a normally horizontal supply pipe, by creating a stratified flow in the supply pipe, by passing the mixture through an inclined pipe, whilst maintaining a stratifie d flow in the inclined pipe, by extracting fluid with lower density (~lighter phase~) via a first discharge system and fluid with a higher density (~heavi er phase~) via a second discharge system, wherein the interface between the lighter phase and the heavier phase is monitored in the inclined pipe by a level controller means that varies the flow of the fluid of higher density t o keep the interface between set levels. The invention also provides a device for employing this method. |
