Abstract
An improved method of centrifugally separating two differing density phases of a multiphase fluid and simultaneously partitioning the phases with a thixotropic material. The thixotropic material is asymmetrically positioned within a closed end of a tubular container such that the exposed or upper surface of the thixotropic material is contoured to form a space for receiving the multiphase fluid between the surface and a sidewall portion of the closed end of the tube.
