Abstract
Apparatus for removing a liquid from a mixture of liquids in a collecting tank has a drain box in the collecting tank having a weir for passage of liquid being removed into the drain box and a conduit for discharge of the liquid from the drain box. The drain box is movable up and down in the tank. To improve the separation of the liquids by control of the position of the weir, the vertical location of the drain box in the tank is determined by height-adjusting means connected to the drain box. the height-adjusting means is controlled in dependence on the output of a sensor sensing the level of liquid in the drain box.
