  • Patent number: 5397460
    Abstract: An apparatus to separate two immiscible liquids of different densities that form a two phase mixture comprising an upper layer (10) and a lower layer (12) when together. The apparatus has a main body (14) to receive the two liquids. The main body has a base and an open top. There is an outlet (20) adjacent the base of the main body, arranged tangentially. A pump (22) pumps liquid from the main body through the outlet (20). A jet (24) generally adjacent the center of the main body (14) directs liquid upwardly from the body. The liquid is supplied to the jet (24) by pump (22). Floats (30) allow floating of the apparatus in a mixture of the two liquids. The fluid driven from the outlet (22) draws the two liquids into the body and the liquid from the jet (24) forces the upper layer (10) of liquid upwardly to separate the two liquids.
