Abstract

A cyclone separator (10) having an axially extending separating chamber (25) with successively adjacently positioned portions (12, 14, 16) of progressively decreasing diameters and feed pipes (26, 28) for tangential inlet of liquid mixture to be separated to the separating chamber at its larger diameter end. The separating chamber (25) has an overflow outlet pipe (34) at its larger diameter end and an underflow outlet (23) at its smaller diameter end. The overflow outlet has a diameter do, adjacent the separating chamber, in the range 0.0035 <= do/d1 < 1 where d1 is the diameter of the largest diameter portion of the separating chamber. The liquid to be separated is admixed, in one embodiment of the invention, with an emulsion breaker to facilitate separation of liquid components of mixture being separated.
