Process for separating an emulsion of a bituminous oil and water into a liquid water phase and a liquid bituminous oil phase, wherein the following steps are performed: (a) raising the temperature of the bituminous oil/water emulsion having a temperature of below 100 °C to a temperature of above 140 °C, and (b) performing a phase separation wherein a water phase and oil phase is obtained, wherein the heating of the emulsion in step (a) is effected by first mixing part of oil phase obtained in step (b) having a temperature of above 140 °C with the bituminous oil/water emulsion and subsequently raising the temperature of the resulting mixture to a temperature of above 140 °C by making use of indirect heat exchange means.

L'invention concerne des procédés de séparation d'une émulsion d'une huile bitumineuse et d'eau en une phase aqueuse liquide et en une phase huileuse bitumineuse liquide, consistant : (a) à élever la température de l'émulsion huile bitumineuse-eau de moins de 100 DEG C à une température supérieure à 140 DEG C, et (b) à réaliser une séparation de phases en vue de l'obtention d'une phase aqueuse et d'une phase huileuse. Le chauffage de l'émulsion dans l'étape (a) est réalisé d'abord par le mélange d'une partie de la phase huileuse obtenue à l'étape (b), ayant une température supérieure à 140 DEG C, avec l'émulsion huile bitumineuse-eau, puis par élévation de la température du mélange résultant au-dessus de 140 DEG C au moyen d'un échangeur de chaleur indirect.
