This invention relates to a means for separating solids from fluid or gas, fluids from gas, and commingled immiscible fluids from each other when one portion of such fluids has a heavier specific gravity than the other. When used to separate commingled immiscible fluids the invention includes a vessel having a fluid inlet, a light fluid outlet and a heavy fluid outlet, the outlets being spaced from the inlet, and a plurality of spaced apart parallel separator screens positioned within the vessel between the inlet and the outlet arranged such that fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet passes through the separator screens, each separator screen being a planar foraminous reticulum of integrally formed relatively small width and small thickness strands, all of which are longitudinally downwardly inclined providing a multiplicity of continuous uninterrupted downwardly inclined paths on which coalesced droplets of heavier fluid may travel towards the bottom of the vessel.
