A separator for separating low and high density constituents of a liquid includes a tank. The tank has a liquid inlet, an opposing liquid outlet and an upper side drain. A filter is mounted in the tank adjacent the inlet for filtering its discharging liquids. An input dam is located downstream of the filter and extends upward a given height. The drain is positioned to draw from locations downstream of the dam. In one embodiment, the tank has a top panel extending across the tank, its upper edge near the drain. The panel is inclined upwardly to cause an upward liquid flow. An internal baffle may be mounted across the tank between the the outlet and the panel. This baffle is spaced from the bottom of the tank to provide an upwardly accelerating liquid flow.
