Abstract
Abstract Device for the separation of two non-miscible liquids comprising, from top to bottom, an upper storage chamber (11), a cylindro conical part (9) diverging downwards, a second conical part (8) diverging downwards separated from the first by a grating (10) and comprising inside it several concentric cones (7) parallel to its wall (8), a third central cylindrical part (4) a fourth conical part (17) converging downwards, comprising, inside it, several concentric cones (16) parallel to its wall, a fifth conico-cylindrical part (18) converging downwards, separated from the fourth by a grating (19) and lastly, a lower storage chamber (20) a mixed liquid supply pipe (1) placed in the axis of the third part (4) and opening out vertically downwards into a deflector element (3), an output (14) for the light liquid in the top of the upper storage chamber (11) and an output (23) for the heavy liquid in the bottom of the lower storage chamber (20).
