A separation system for separating a liquid mixture

Abstract

A separation system includes a centrifugal separator for separating a liquid feed mixture. The centrifugal separator is arranged for separating the liquid feed mixture into at least one separated liquid phase and discharging said at least one separated liquid phase. The separation system includes a flow measurement arrangement arranged for receiving a measurement liquid selected from the liquid feed mixture and a separated liquid phase. The flow measurement arrangement includes a first container for holding measurement liquid; a first device for measuring a parameter related to the weight of measurement liquid contained in the first container, a second container for holding measurement liquid, and a second device for measuring a parameter related to the weight of measurement liquid contained in the second container. The flow measurement arrangement is arranged to allow emptying the first container of measurement liquid while a further container of the flow measurement arrangement is being filled with the same type of measurement liquid and vice versa, thereby allowing alternately filling the first and the further container of the flow measurement arrangement with the same type of measurement liquid.
