    Patent number: 11071930
    Abstract: A fluid separator unit includes an elongate body having a circular internal cross-section and a longitudinal axis, an inlet which directs a fluid flow into the body in a rotational flow pattern around the longitudinal axis, a first outlet, a second outlet, a first centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a second centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a first fluid path from a central part of the first centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, a second fluid path from an outer periphery of the second centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, and a third fluid path from the second centrifugal separation zone to the second outlet. A diameter of the second centrifugal separation zone is smaller than a diameter of the first centrifugal separation zone.
