SEPARATOR FOR SEPARATING A LIGHT LIQUID-WATER MIXTURE AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING A LIGHT LIQUID-WATER MIXTURE

摘要

A separator (50) is indicated which is arranged in a container having a circular or ellipsoidal cross section and having a container wall (17), for separating a light liquid-water mixture, for example oil-polluted water, comprising: a feed (1) arranged on a first side (52) of the container having a feed chicane (60) which passes the fed mixture downwards and is divided into first flow parts (75, 75') that are substantially of equal size, an outlet (14) having an outlet tube (15), a circular or ellipsoidal flow wall (80) having an internal wall side (5) and an external wall side (4), wherein the flow wall (80) passes through at least the half of a full circle, preferably at least three quarters of a full circle, and has an opening (83) which is facing a second side (53) of the container opposite the feed (1), wherein the flow wall (80), between the external wall side (4) of the flow wall (80) and the container wall (17), forms two flow channels (70, 71) at two opposite sides of the container wall (17) in each case from the feed (1) to the second side (53) of the container, wherein, in the flow channels (70, 71), in each case one of the two first flow parts (75, 75') is conducted from the feed (1) to the second side (53) of the container along the container wall (17), wherein the two first flow parts (75, 75'), at the second side (53) of the container having substantially opposite directions of flow meet one another and are reunited, and hole elements (9-12) arranged in the two flow channels (70, 71), through which the two first flow parts (75, 75') flow.
