<p>A cyclone (46) for separating at least two fluids having different densities, the cyclone (46) having at least two inlet means (40, 43) through one of which the fluids to be separated enter the cyclone (46) and at least two outlet means (41, 42) from one of which the fluid having the higher percentage of more dense fluid passes from the cyclone (46) and from the other of which the fluid having the higher percentage of less dense fluid passes therefrom characterized in that the or one of the other inlet means (40, 43) is adapted to permit the introduction of a fluid in the cyclone (46) to displace at least some of the existing boundary layer at the point of introduction. The invention also provides a method of separating mixtures of two or more fluids wherein said mixtures are passed through one or more cyclones (46) constructed according to the invention.</p> |
