  • Patent number: 11180396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a group and method for the separation of a mixture comprising two fluid phases mutually at least partially immiscible and with different specific density characterized in that it comprises a closed chamber (11) which extends between an upper outlet mouth (12a) of a fluid phase with lower specific density separated from the mixture, positioned at a first upper height, and a lower outlet mouth (12b) of a fluid phase with greater specific density separated from the mixture, positioned at a second lower height with respect to the first upper height, an inlet (15,33) for said mixture inside said closed chamber (11) also being present at a height interposed between said upper and lower heights, a first upper gross separation device (13) of said mixture and a second lower fine separation device (14,14?) of said mixture, hydraulically connected to each other (13) (14), being situated in succession, inside said closed chamber (11), between said upper outlet mouth (12a) and said lower o

  • Patent number: 9289700
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (1) for the coalescence-separation of a mixture comprising two fluid phases mutually immiscible other and with a different specific density, characterized in that it comprises a tubular body (2) closed at opposite ends, of which, considering the apparatus in the configuration of use, one is higher than the other, at least one inlet mouth (5) of the mixture to be separated which is defined on the side surface of the tubular body (2), at least one outlet mouth (6) of the fluid phase with a lower specific density separated from the mixture which is defined close to the end of the tubular body at an upper height, at least one outlet mouth (7) of the fluid phase with a greater specific density separated from the mixture which is defined close to the end of the tubular body at a lower height and at least a set of coalescence plates (8) which is housed inside said tubular body (2), wherein each of the coalescence plates (8) has a flow plate (9) of the mixture which is ti
