Apparatus for separating brine into drinking water and sodium chloride sol or contaminated sea water into pure sea water, mineral oil and solids contains double cone system, into which starting material is fed

摘要

An apparatus for separating a two-component liquid starting material (R) into two products (T1, T2) containing the components in different ratios comprises a pipe system (22), a compressor (24) and a double cone system (11) with a suction inlet (30) for the starting material. A separator (26) is mounted downstream from this with an outlet (32) for the first product and a second outlet (34) for the second product. The apparatus also contains a pressure tank which is either integral with the separator or connected to it by a branch circuit. An Independent claim is included for a double cone system for use in the apparatus with a converging inlet cone and diverging outlet cone, a suction inlet in the diverging cone and a pre-diffuser upstream from the inlet.
