Abstract
In a device for separating and extracting components having different densities from an effluent as applicable in particular to the separation of oil and water in crude oil, a single pump has the function of sucking the effluent into a separator and maintaining a pressure of higher value than the highest pressure which is necessary for extraction of one of the components. At least one regulator is provided for regulating the delivery of the lower-density component and at least one regulator is provided for regulating the delivery of the other component.
