Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9823351A1] A separator, e.g. a three-phase separator, includes an inlet (4) and outlets (8, 9 and 12) for separated materials. Between the inlet (4) and the outlets (8, 9, 12) one or more baffles (13, 14) are provided for controlling fluid flow. The baffles are perforated and have a variable free area in different vertical zones thereof. By selecting the shape and size of the perforations, and percentage of perforated area, flow within the separator may be controlled to provide optimum separation conditions.
