Abstract

The water-oil emulsion separation process in a gravity-dynamic separator was investigated experimentally in three modes of separator use: without baffles, with baffles in the form of inserts made of open-cell foam material (OCFM), and with plate baffles. An ultrasonic mixer with OCFM baffles was used to produce the emulsion. The results showed the following: in a separator without baffles, separation is less effective; in a separator with OCFM baffles, separation is more effective at low emulsion flow rates; in a separator with plate baffles, separation is more effective at high emulsion flow rates.
