A fluid separation device (2) is provided for separating a raw fluid into a plurality of components. A body (21) has a cylindrical bore defined by an inner wall of the body. A cylindrical core (22) has a helical channel formed in the periphery of the cylindrical core (22). The helical channel has a generally rectangular cross section. The cyindrical core (22) is disposed in the cylindrical bore such that the inner wall of the body and the helical channel form a helical coil (24). A feeder assembly (23) is in fluid communication with the helical coil (24), such that the feeder assembly (23) is operable to transport a raw fluid to the helical coil (24). A splitter assembly (25) is also in fluid communication with the helical coil (24). The splitter assembly (25) comprises at least one separator vane defining a plurality of conduits. The splitter assembly (25) is operable to separate a radially stratified fluid flowing from the helical coil into a plurality of components by directing each component into one of the plurality or conduits.
