Are there solutions that process those flows and remove one of those

Wouldn't you just do that in your reporting? The report engine usually has 
options for interface, ingress/egress, prefix range, protocol, .... 

Then when you need to aggregate for a specific interface for additional 
troubleshooting, you have all the information for when you need it. 

Yes, your aggregate numbers for total packets transiting is double, but I 
generally have specific reports for specific traffic patterns I focus on 
anyway.
