Abstract
A separator assembly for separating different density fluids, such as gas and liquid, which comprises three stages, i.e., an inducer stage, a mixed flow impeller stage, and a centrifugal separator stage. The assembly is usually associated with a pump or pumps for pumping the separated fluids from the assembly. The inducer stage comprises a screw means which, with the impeller stage, delivers fluid to be separated into the separator stage. The impeller stage imparts rotary motion to the fluid. The centrifugal separator stage is a centrifuge and comprises inner and outer cylindrical members which rotate in unison and wherein centrifugal force on the fluid separates the heavier and lighter components, which components flow from the separator stage to the associated pump or pumps.
