First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for separating of a multiphase fluid, the device comprising:
- a substantially horizontally oriented cylindrical container having an inlet at one end, a first outlet for liquid with a higher specific gravity, a second outlet for liquid with a lower specific gravity relative to the first liquid, and a third outlet for gas;
a substantially horizontally oriented pipe separator disposed upstream of the container and connected to the inlet of the container; and
a supply pipe disposed upstream of the pipe separator for supplying the multiphase fluid to the pipe separator, wherein the supply pipe is connected to an inlet end of the pipe separator wherein the pipe separator has a greater diameter than the supply pipe and the container has a greater diameter than the pipe separator.

Abstract
A device in connection with a separator for separation of a multiphase fluid, including a preferably cylindrical container (1) with an inlet (2), a first outlet (3) for liquid with a higher gravity (for example water), a second outlet (4) for liquid with a lower gravity (for example oil) and a third outlet (5) for gas. A pipe separator (6) is connected to the inlet (2) of the container (1). The pipe separator (6) constitutes a continuation of a supply pipe (7) for supplying the fluid to be separated and extends partially into the container (1).
