A separator assembly for use &ldquo;downhole&rdquo; in an oil well, comprising an elongate body member including longitudinally extending oil and water passages, the elongate body member defining a longitudinally extending mounting face to which at least one hydrocyclone is secured, the hydrocyclone having its axis extending generally longitudinally of the elongate body, a first connecting union at the overflow end of the hydrocyclone whereby the overflow outlet of the hydrocyclone communicates with the oil passage of the body member, a second connecting union at the underflow end of the hydrocyclone whereby the underflow outlet of the hydrocyclone communicates with the water passage of the elongate body member, and, connecting means at opposite axial ends respectively of the elongate body member for establishing communication with the oil and water passages respectively.

Separator assembly

A cyclone separator assembly comprising a pressure vessel divided internally by first and second generally parallel dividing plates to define an overflow chamber, an underflow chamber, and an inlet chamber intermediate the overflow and underflow chambers, the dividing plates having aligned bores therein for receiving and supporting respective end regions of respective cyclone separator tubes, the ends of the bores in the first dividing plate opening into the overflow chamber being partially obstructed by restraining means restricting displacement of the cyclone tubes in a direction towards the overflow chamber.
