METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PHASE INVERSION USING A STATIC MIXER/COALESCER

A method and a system for phase inversion of a dispersion are disclosed, the dispersion comprising a first fluid, said first fluid forming a disperse phase and a second fluid, said second fluid forming a continuous phase. The dispersion is supplied in a fluid supply device to a phase inversion means. Thereby the first fluid is transformed from the disperse phase into the continuous phase and the second fluid is transformed from the continuous phase into the disperse phase. The phase inversion means comprises an element providing a fluid contacting surface for coalescence in a direction of flow.
