Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for treating a gas/liquid mixture, comprising: an inlet opening for the mixture; an outlet for the mixture located downstream; rotating means arranged in the tube for setting the mixture into rotating movement; one or more outlet openings arranged downstream relative to the rotating means for allowing a part of the mixture to flow laterally out of the tube; a return conduit arranged in axial direction through the rotating means for reintroducing into the tube the flow which has exited via the outlet openings; and divergence means arranged close to the outlet opening of the return conduit for allowing the reintroduced flow to diverge laterally.

Abstract: Disclosed device for separating a mixture of gas with liquid and/or solid, which comprises a gravity separation vessel and a processing vessel which can be mounted in the gravity separation vessel. The processing vessel comprises a flow body which is provided with one or more swirl elements which set the feed mixture into rotation. The processing vessel also comprises a resistance element which is positioned between an outlet for the heavier fraction of the mixture and the flow body. The processing vessel may also comprise counter-swirl elements which are positioned in the discharge channel for the lighter fraction of the mixture.
