A separator (222) for separating a first fluid of less density from a second fluid of greater density through rotation about an axis of rotation (292). The separator includes a separator chamber (350) mounted for rotation about the axis of rotation. A first weir (380) is positioned in fluid communication with the separation chamber. A second weir (400) is positioned over which the second fluid may pass to exit the separation chamber through a collection chamber (488). A fluid pressure chamber is positioned radially outwardly from the crest of the second weir to receive the second fluid as it passes over the second weir. The fluid pressure chamber is partially defined by an exit weir over which the second fluid may pass. A gas chamber (440) is postionned in the passageway between the second weir and the exit weir and includes a gas escape passageway.
