This invention provides a process and apparatus for separating immiscible liquids such as oil and hydrocarbon based liquids from an aqueous fluid by passing the fluid through a fluid pervious coalescing media designed to coalesce oil particles contained in the fluid into larger oil droplets, a gravity separation stage where the coalesced oil droplets can separate by gravity, and an adsorption/absorption stage where remaining oil dispersions are removed by an oleophilic media capable of attracting and retaining oil particles on its substrate. The process and apparatus significantly increases the longevity of conventional adsorbent/absorbent filters which have to be replaced when they become saturated with oil, and also allows the oil to be recovered for re-use or re- cycling.
