A separation apparatus for separating a mixture of hydrocarbon liquid and aqueous liquid into discrete hydrocarbon liquid, and aqueous liquid phases comprising, a gravity separator vessel (12) having, an inlet (13) through which mixture to be separated enters the vessel, and, water and oil outlets (22, 21) spaced from the inlet (13) of the vessel so as to afford a predetermined residence time within the vessel, the apparatus having a further liquid outlet (26) from the vessel, and a further separator (28) receiving liquid from the vessel by way of said further liquid outlet (26), said further separator in use separating said liquid mixture into oil rich and water rich flows. The invention further resides in a method of separating a mixture of hydrocarbon liquid and aqueous liquid into discrete hydrocarbon liquid, and aqueous liquid phases.

l'invention concerne un appareil servant à séparer un mélange d'hydrocarbures liquides et de liquides aqueux en liquide d'hydrocarbure discret et en phases de liquide aqueux. L'appareil comprend un récipient séparateur par gravité (12) muni d'une entrée (13) par laquelle on verse, dans le récipient, le mélange à séparer, et des sorties d'eau et de pétrole (22, 21) placées à distance de l'entrée (13) du récipient, ce qui permet un temps de séjour à l'intérieur du récipient. L'appareil possède une autre sortie (26) de liquide du récipient, par laquelle un autre séparateur (28) reçoit le liquide du récipient. Lorsqu'il est en marche, ledit séparateur sépare le mélange liquide en débits riches en pétrole et riches en eau. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de séparation d'un mélange de liquide d'hydrocarbure et de liquide aqueux en liquide d'hydrocarbure discret et en phases de liquide aqueux.
