Abstract: A separator assembly (1c) in the form of a flare tank for separating and igniting gas from non-gaseous components of a fluid stream (such as a well return). The separator assembly (1c) comprises: at least one degasser (4) having a fluid stream inlet (41) for introducing the fluid stream (well return) into a vessel (40) of the degasser (4) at a reduced velocity, and optionally a degasser gas pressure relief system (60) and non-gaseous component filter (40); a tank (3) having a settling compartment (30) and a suction compartment (31); and a flare (5c) for igniting gas leaving the degasser (4).
