Zusammenfassung:	The current disclosure relates to multiphase fluid separation via a multiphase separation system. The multiphase separation system is configured to feed a multiphase fluid into feed lines within the multiphase separation system, wherein the feed lines consist of an upper line (405), a middle line (408), and a lower line (406). The upper line is configured to flow a first stream substantially including oil into an oil section of a control volume (422). The middle line is configured to flow a second stream substantially including an oil/water emulsion into an oil/water emulsion section of the control volume. The lower line is configured to flow a third stream substantially including water into a water section of the control volume. The control volume is configured to adjust fluid flow rate at an outlet (416, 420, 418), wherein the oil section, the water section, and the oil/water emulsion section each commingle at different heights of the control volume.
