Abstract

A pump/separator apparatus is disclosed for pumping a viscous fluid mixture upwardly from an underground location and for carrying out at least partial separation of the mixture into separate component parts or phases. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical housing 2.15 having an intake 12 at or near its lower end to receive the viscous fluid mixture, and an upper discharge end to which the fluid can be pumped. An inner impeller rotatably mounted in the housing 2.15 generates a spirally upwardly moving column of fluid which rotates around the axis of the housing 2.15 and thereby induces inward flow of the mixture through the intake 12. A stack of rotary disks 2.9 is arranged in the housing 2.15 in a separation zone 13 located above an intake chamber 11, and in which the disks 2.9 are spaced apart from each other and serve to assist in guiding the flow of fluid upwardly through the housing to the discharge end and to assist in separation of the fluid into at least some of its separate parts or phases.
