Method and apparatus for separating from each other the components of a mixture of oil, water and soil.

摘要

The mixture is passed via a distribution and pacification chamber (7), which is connected to the supply pipe (2) and which has a large volume slowing down the speed of flow, into a separation chamber (3, 4, 5) where the flow of the mixture is first guided upwards in a laminar flow through a first bundle of plates (16) having vertical flow passages, the flow being reversed, while retaining laminar flow, directly after leaving the said first bundle of plates (16) and guided downwards through a second bundle of plates (17) having vertical flow passages which lead into a discharge chamber (33) having a throughflow cross-section increasing towards the discharge opening (34), where the separated components water and soil, are discharged, while oil can be discharged in the reversing chamber (26) between the first (16) and second (17) bundle of plates.
