Abstract
A phase separator apparatus is disclosed which utilizes phase separator modules for insertion in a separation tank. The modules include a frame for retaining a plurality of impingement plates within the frame utilizing removable retention means, such as slots, allowing easy removal and replacement of the impingement plates. The phase separator module also includes vertical baffles for blocking the flow of fluid to be separated and forming a quiescent region on either side of the impingement plates normal to the direction of flow to the fluid to be separated. The removable retention means, such as slots in the frame, not only allow removal for cleaning and maintenance of the plates, but also provide a means for adjusting the spacing of the gap between the plates, the plate length or a combination of both, in order to modify the efficiency of the separator. The phase separator modules of the present invention are especially suited for cocurrent cross-flow separation of a multiphase aqueous mixture, such as that of oil, water and suspended solids.
