摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for gravity separation of immiscible liquids (L1, L2) having different densities from an emulsion (E), including a tank inside of which the emulsion is moved and flows such that the liquids separate by migrating one liquid above, and means for extracting the lightest liquid and the heaviest liquid toward corresponding outlets (14, 18), by overflows. The tank (2) includes a separation partition (6) defining a first chamber (7) into which said inlet leads, and a second chamber (8), said partition providing a lower communication passage (10) between said chambers so that the heaviest liquid flows into the second chamber. A means (28) for adjusting or controlling the pressure/negative pressure in one of the inner spaces (G1, G2) located above the free surfaces (IG1, IG2) of the liquids of said chambers. |
