An apparatus for separating commingled heavier and lighter immiscible liquids and solids having an upright vessel, a vertical flow tube within the vessel having an upper fluid outlet opening and a lower fluid inlet opening therein, an upper horizontal spreader baffle extending from the flow tube and below the fluid outlet and a lower horizontal spreader baffle extending from the flow tube and above the fluid inlet, a concentric side tube positioned exteriorly of and parallel the vessel and connected to the flow tube below the fluid inlet and providing for the maintenance of a liquid/liquid interface within the vessel above the upper spreader baffle and a commingled fluid inlet pipe extending from exterior of the baffle to the flow tube, the baffle providing means for change of fluid direction from horizontal to vertical and vise versa to improve separation of the lighter from the heavier immiscible liquids and for drawing off both the lighter and the heavier liquids from the vessel.
