Separator
A separator, for separating oil and water, has an angled separator bed 18, which may be between liquid inlet 12 and liquid outlets (outlet 16 for water, and outlet 14 for oil). The tilted separator bed 18 may be angled downwards, with gravity causing the liquid to flow. Liquid on the inclined separator bed 18 may be kept shallow, to encourage hydrocarbon gases to escape. The separator may operate at ambient pressure, with the angled separator bed 18 being open to the atmosphere. An adjustable weir plate may allow oil to pass to outlet 14, while preventing water to escape. Baffles (figure 3) may restrict fluid flow, e.g allowing oil to flow over the top, and water to pass underneath, while holding back the dispersion near the interface. The separator may be used offshore, e.g. on a floating vessel.
