<p>An oil-water separator is disclosed having a vertical, cylindrical tank (10) with a plurality of corrugated, oleophilic plates (26). A corrugated diffusion baffle (30) is located adjacent an oil-water mixture inlet (22) to remove the larger particulate material from the mixture and to cause coalescing of the larger oil droplets. The flow of the oil-water mixture proceeds generally in a vertical direction and passes between the corrugated plates (26) to cause further coalescing of the oil droplets. A separate oil channel (36) directs the coslesced oil to an upper portion of the tank. The clarified water then passes downwardly to a clean water outlet (54). A second coalescing unit (52) may be located upstream of the clear water outlet to further coalesce and remove the smaller oil droplets. In this case, a second oil relief channel (56) directs these coalesced oil particles to the upper portion of the tank, from which the oil may be removed.</p> |
