ABSTRACT:
A subsea process assembly for separating a multiphase flow, the assembly comprising: an inlet for a multiphase medium; a pressure reducing means for reducing the pressure of the multiphase flow from the inlet and creating a source of energy; a multiphase separator for separating the multiphase input into individual phases; and a pumping system for, in use, pumping at least one of the desired individual phases to a delivery point by utilizing at least some of the energy from the source of energy.
