A liquid separating apparatus is provided for separating a liquid mixture into its immiscible constituents of different densities. The apparatus comprises a separating tank (12 ) in communication with a discharge tank (18 ) . The separating tank (12 ) has an inlet for introducing the mixture to the apparatus and a first outlet(16)for the mixture constituent of lower density. The discharge tank (18 ) has a second outlet(20)for the mixture constituent of higher density. The relative levels of the first and second outlets iare higher than the mixture inlet , the first outlet(16)being at a higher level than the second outlet. A communication passage is provided between the separating tank (12 ) and the discharge tank (18 ) through a base of the apparatus. |
