Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for transferring a multiphase effluent whatever the value of its gas phase/liquid phase volumetric ratio GLR may be. The value of the GLR is determined by means of a measuring device D, before it reaches a separation tank, when the measured value of the GLR is greater than a boundary value, part of the gas phase is discharged through compression means in connection with the tank, as long as the level of the liquid-gas interface in the tank is below a threshold value.
