Abstract
This invention is about a cyclone separator. This separator may find application in removing a lighter phase from a large volume of a denser phase such as oil from water, with minimum contamination of the more voluminous phase. Most conventional cyclone separators are designed for the opposite purpose, that is removing a denser phase from a large volume of lighter phase, with minimum contamination of the less voluminous phase. In our case, a typical starting liquid-liquid dispersion would contain under 1% by volume of the lighter (less dense) phase, but it could be more.
