An oil-water-solid particles emulsion is separated by heating the emulsion to its critical separation temperature, thoroughly mixing and washing the heated oil with salt water to coagulate the emulsion water and solid particles into larger globules, increase the specific gravity of the globules and make the mixture homogeneous, then establishing vibratory waves in the mixture to accelerate separation of the mixture by gravity. Batch and continuous flow systems for carrying out the process, including a steam-operated jet pump injection system, are also disclosed.
