A device for separating a plural phase fluid system into constituent phases having different specific gravities providing a vortexing chamber with a closed upper end, a lower end and a sidewall constituting a surface of revolution; a tubular vortex finder mounted concentrically in the upper end of the chamber having an upper end above the chamber and a lower end within the chamber, the sidewall having an inlet adjacent to the upper end for directing the fluid system tangentially into the chamber to swirl downwardly within the chamber for centrifugal separation of the heavier phase outwardly and downwardly while the lighter phase is discharged upwardly through the vortex finder; an auxiliary vortexing chamber concentrically downwardly extended within the vortexing chamber downwardly spaced from the vortex finder having a sidewall constituting a surface of revolution, a closed upper end, and an open lower end; and a tubular auxiliary vortex finder mounted concentrically in the upper end of the auxiliary chamber having an upper end opening upwardly through the upper end of the auxiliary vortexing chamber and an open lower end within the auxiliary vortexing chamber in downwardly spaced relation to the upper end thereof, the sidewall of the auxiliary vortex chamber having an inlet adjacent to the upper end thereof for directing fluid tangentially into the auxiliary vortexing chamber to swirl downwardly about the auxiliary vortex finder for further centrifugal separation of the residual heavier phase outwardly and downwardly within the chamber while the further cleaned lighter phase is discharged upwardly through the auxiliary vortex finder and then through the vortex finder.
