ABSTRACT:
Phase separation equipment for thermally separating an emulsion, in particular, a water-oil emulsion, includes a container for receiving the emulsion, a heater for heating the emulsion in the container, a discharge outlet from the top of the container for evacuating a vapor phase of the emulsion and a system for introducing air into the lower region of the container for forming a vapor cloud at the surface of the emulsion at a lower temperature than would be expected. The vapor cloud is discharged from the container, and the condensible portion of the vapor is condensed and separated from the vapor stream. The separated air or residual gas is then fed back into the air stream supplied to the bottom area of the container so that a closed loop air circulation system is provided. The system avoids discharge of air and noxious odors into the atmosphere while enhancing the separation of the lower boiling point vapor from the emulsion.
