A device (1) for separating a mixture of fluids having a feed inlet (2), a gas outlet (3), an outlet (4) for the lighter liquid and an outlet (5) for the heavier liquid, which device comprises a normally horizontal supply pipe (12) with the feed inlet (2) at its upstream end, an inclined pipe (15) having a closed lower end (18), a gas discharge system (20) communicating with the gas outlet (3), a discharge system (30) for lighter liquid communicating with the outlet (4), and a discharge system (40) for heavier liquid communicating with the outlet (5), wherein the diameter of the supply pipe (12) is selected such that during normal operation the velocities of the liquids are below a pre-determined value, wherein the ratio of the length of the supply pipe (12) to its diameter is larger than 10, and wherein the slope of the inclined pipe (15) is selected such that during normal operations a stratified flow is maintained in the inclined pipe (15). <IMAGE>
