The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for concentrating and separating materials, particularly immiscible fluids of different densities. It is useful for concentrating and separating oil spilled on water. The invention includes a concentrator which comprises a tank into which the materials are fed. The tank is placed in the mixture which is fed into the tank. The mixture forces the denser material at the bottom of the tank out of a bottom opening in the tank. This results in a greater concentration of the lower density material remaining in the tank. The present invention includes a skimmer which can be used in combination with the concentrator. This invention can be useful to collect oil spilled on water.
