ABSTRACT:
An emulsion breaking apparatus for segregating a lesser specific gravity liquid from an emulsion by a gravity separation. A primary separating chamber within the apparatus receives a flow of the emulsion and directs said flow through a panel array which defines a tortuous path and one or more segregating compartments. One or more weirs formed in the panel array function to meter the lighter liquid which rises to the emulsion surface, into the one or more compartments by a gravity flow of the emulsion across said weir. A non-reactive gas introduced into the main separating chamber forms a non-oxidizing gaseous blanket above liquid in the apparatus to avoid corrosive action which might otherwise commence.
