ABSTRACT:
The invention refers to a device for separation of two liquids in a common mixture from each other, said liquids having different densities and being non-soluble in each other. The device comprises a pressure-tight vessel, which contains a charge of a high-porous material, which is resistant to the mixed liquids to be separated and has a high surface ratio and small flow resistance. The liquid mixture is introduced under pressure through at least one inlet conduit into a chamber located within the charge in the vessel but free from the charge material, an outlet for the heavier liquid being disposed in the bottom of the vessel in order to bring said liquid to flow substantially vertically and downwardly through the vessel, after which the two liquids each are carried to an individual spillway. The invention is distinguished in that the mixture introduction chamber is disposed on the vertical center axis of the separation vessel and below the top of the charge of material therein, and in that the outlet for the lighter liquid is located at the crown of said separation vessel so that also the lighter liquid is brought to flow vertically, namely upwardly, and in that in the inlet conduit for the mixture is connected upstream of the separation vessel and at substantially the same level as the latter a coarse-separation tank which at its crown has a communicating connection to the uppermost portion of the separation vessel and which is adapted to be entirely liquid-filled and house within iself a border surface between the heavier and the lighter liquid while providing for an introductory coarse-separation thereof, the spillways for the separated liquids being disposed on at least some distance above the crown of the separation vessel.
