IMMISCIBLE LIQUID SEPARATING APPARATUS

摘要

An immiscible liquid separating apparatus having an adjustable weir which admits a predominant portion of the lighter of the two liquids and a minor portion of the heavier of the two liquids into a first chamber. Liquid in the first chamber may communicate with a second chamber over another adjustable weir to permit the lighter of the two liquids to flow over the top of the second weir into the second chamber. The first chamber is provided with an aspirating slot disposed generally transversely across the bottom of the chamber to permit the heavier of the two liquids admitted to the first chamber to be withdrawn therefrom upon movement of the apparatus through the liquid body. The lighter of the two liquids collected in the second chamber may be removed by pump means disposed within the second chamber or through a line connected to the pump means positioned externally of the chamber.
