Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for separating fluids using one or more hydrocyclone separators and a mixer disposed upstream from the hydrocyclone separators. The mixers are preferably static or rotary type mixers which mix the fluids prior to their delivery into the hydrocyclone separator. Using mixers provides a more homogeneous mixture of oil and water to the hydrocyclone separators in order to increase the efficiency of the separation. By controlling the degree of mixing it is also possible to substantially avoid the formation of emulsions.
