Date Jun. 1, 1989.For separating an oil and water mixture, the mixture is applied to the inlet of a cyclone separator so that the oil emerges from an overflow outlet and the water from an underflow outlet. Sensors measure the purity of the separated water and oil components and under control of a suitable control device, additions are made to the inlet liquid of quantities of oil or water to alter the ratio of oil and water quantities in the inlet mixture in a fashion tending to maintain separation efficiency. The oil and water to be admixed are taken from reservoirs.
