Abstract
Apparatus for separating oil from an oil/water mixture. The mixture is introduced into a vessel through entry ports and passes through a coalescing filter, flowing therethrough into a settlement chamber. Separation of oil and water occurs in the chamber and oil flows therefrom through an outlet to a waste collection vessel. Water is taken from the lower part of the chamber through a pipe and passes through a sorbent bed prior to discharge through an outlet located at a level below the level of the oil outlet opening.
