Apparatus for separating oil, water, and sludge from a mixture thereof to provide waste oil, usable water, and concentrated sludge. The sludge can be further reduced in volume to facilitate disposal. The invention includes a system having a vessel with a coalesces supported therein and connected to a baffled inlet chamber arranged to eliminate turbulence before entrance of the mixture into the coalesces. The coalesces is supported within the vessel and arranged to form an upper oil containment chamber at the top of the vessel, a contaminated water inlet chamber at one side, a lower sludge containing chamber at the bottom, and a treated water outlet chamber at the other side. The coalesces comprises a support having opposed frame members. The opposed frame member, have spaced slots formed therein aligned to receive the marginal ends of a number of corrugated plate members and to dispose the plate members parallel to one another and inclined respective to the horizontal. The corrugations of the plate members, when viewed in horizontal cross-section, form a sinusoidal wave pattern. There being a wide, long, thin, inclined, sinusoidal passageway formed between the plate members that extend from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber. The oil separates and rises up the inclined troughs to the top of the vessel while the sludge separates and descends down the inclined troughs toward the bottom of the vessel while contaminated water is progressively cleaned and becomes separated water during its gentle flow along the parallel paths and into the outlet chamber while oil and sludge is removed from the mixture. 19
