ABSTRACT:
A plate-type fluid separator is used to separate a plurality of mutually immiscible components from a mixed fluid stream thereof. The separator contains at least one separator flow plate which has formed on a common facial surface thereof at least one separation chamber. Each separation chamber contains at least one inlet means; a channel assembly in fluid communication with the inlet means and composed of a main flow channel split at a downstream end thereof into a plurality of branching flow channels; and a plurality of outlet means in fluid communication with the branching flow channels. The main flow channel separates the stream passing therethrough into a plurality of substantially discrete fluid phases having different average density or viscosity values. Each branching flow channel receives a discrete phase and passes such phase to the outlet means.
