An apparatus for separating hydrocarbons from a liquid, comprises a housing having at least one housing inlet 118 and at least one housing outlet 120 located in a lower portion of the housing. At least one separation chamber 128 is disposed in the housing in fluid communication with the at least one housing inlet 118 and the at least one housing outlet 120. At least one support surface 136 is located in the separation chamber 128 for supporting a filter assembly (600, Fig 6) having a filter inlet region (608, 610, Fig 6) and a filter outlet region such that, in use, the at least one housing inlet is in fluid communication with the filter inlet region and the filter outlet region is in fluid communication with the at least one housing outlet. The apparatus may be used to separate hydrocarbons such as oil from a liquid such as surface water to enable separated water to enter drainage systems and the water course. A further invention directed to a filter assembly for a hydrocarbon separator is also disclosed. |
