ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for separating heterogeneous mixtures of at least two components, including immiscible liquid/liquid solutions as in separating oil from water, or solid/liquid mixtures as in separating solid waste from sewage water. The apparatus allows for pre-separation before the influent enters the separator proper. The apparatus and a method provide for heterogeneous solutions to enter the apparatus at the same end at which the effluent is removed and in which an amount of separation occurs prior to the formal entrance to the separator tank. The tank geometry and structure are such that liquid/liquid solutions as well as solid/liquid solutions may be separated. The geometry and structure of the tank are also such that there is significant reduction in flow turbulence, laminar flow is utilized, and significant performance degradation in the purity of the resulting effluent are not seen as fluid flow continues.
