A mixture of fluids is separated into at least two phases, one of which has a higher density than the other, passing the mixture through a normally horizontal supply pipe, by creating a stratified flow in the supply pipe, by passing the mixture through an inclined pipe, whilst maintaining a stratified flow in the inclined pipe, by extracting fluid with lower density (~lighter phase~) via a first discharge system and fluid with a higher density (~heavier phase~) via a second discharge system, wherein the interface between the lighter phase and the heavier phase is monitored in the inclined pipe by a level controller means that varies the flow of the fluid of higher density to keep the interface between set levels. The invention also provides a device for employing this method.

On sépare un mélange de fluides en au moins deux phases, l'un d'entre ces fluides possédant une densité supérieure à l'autre. Ce procédé consiste à faire passer le mélange à travers un tuyau d'alimentation normalement horizontal, à créer un flux stratifié dans ce tuyau d'alimentation, à faire passer le mélange à travers un tuyau incliné tout en maintenant un flux stratifié dans le tuyau incliné, à extraire le fluide à la densité la plus faible (phase la plus légère) via un premier système d'évacuation et le fluide à la densité la plus élevée (phase la plus lourde)via un second système d'évacuation. L'interface entre la phase la plus légère et la phase la plus lourde est surveillée dans le tuyau incliné par un contrôleur de niveau qui fait varier le flux du fluide de densité la plus élevée de façon à garder cette interface entre des niveaux fixés. Cette invention concerne aussi un dispositif utilisant ce procédé.
