Abstract
Apparatus for separating a dispersed liquid phase from a continuous liquid phase by electrostatic coalescence comprising an elongated vessel having an inlet and outlet. The vessel is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment with the compartments being in fluid communication with one another. Each compartment is provided with a plurality of substantially parallel cylindrical cathodic elements arranged in the main flow direction, and a plurality of rod-like anodic elements, each element being substantially concentrically arranged inside a cathodic element. The cathodic elements of the first compartment have cross-sectional areas substantially larger than the cross-sectional areas of the cathodic elements of each consecutive compartment.
