FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: set of inventions relates separation of immiscible fluids and can be used, for example, for separation of water-oil emulsions. Flushing separator (1) comprises vessel (2) with first fluid (3) and second fluid (4) that differ in density. First fluid (3) does not mix with second fluid (4), both being separated by interface (5). Initial flow (15, 24, 31, 61) containing dispersion of first and second fluids (3, 4) is fed to separator. Note here that second fluid (4) forms a dispersed drop-like phase distributed in first fluid (3) to produce a continuous phase. Distributor (6) is arranged in vessel (2) to distribute initial flow (15, 24, 31, 61) in second fluid (4). Said initial flow (15, 24, 31, 61) downstream of said distributor (6) features the time of stay in second fluid approximating to 15 minutes.
EFFECT: separation of dispersions in underwater conditions.
