Method and apparatus for separating water and crude oil mixtures and other two-phase fluid mixtures of components of different densities. The mixture is pumped through a conduit in the form of a vertical spiral at a velocity that impels the heavy phase toward the outside of the spiral. A fraction is withdrawn from the outside of the turns of the spiral and is led downwardly to the bottom of a vertical settling tank. Any light phase removed with the heavy phase floats to the top in the settling tank and is reintroduced at the top of the spiral.
