Abstract: The method for separating a dispersion system into constituents, for example, for separating an oil emulsion into oil and water. This invention is based on the problem of, in a known method of dehydrating dispersions by specifying and regulating the output resistance of the liquid constituent of a mixture with a large specific weight, ensuring the following technical result: high-quality separation of the dispersion in accordance with the specific weight into constituents in apparatuses of simplified design. The method for separating a dispersion comprises supplying the liquid mixture for centrifuging, separating and regulating the extraction of the constituents, the extraction of the constituents is regulated by specifying the output resistance of the liquid constituent of the mixture with a large specific weight, and regulation of the extraction is controlled by a specified quantity of the liquid constituent of the mixture with a large specific weight in the centrifuge.
