Title:
LIQUID SEPARATION PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRACTISING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002055171
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The present invention is a process and an apparatus for separating at least two resolvable liquids while concurrently reducing rag phase development and stabilizing rag phase volume and location during the separation. In a process where a feed stream of two resolvable liquids is dispersed into a vessel and then allowed to separate under the force of gravity into an upper phase and a lower phase, the present invention utilizes an aspirator to withdraw a steam of rag phase material from the interface of two resolvable liquid phases. The flow velocity of the feed stream powers the aspirator. The outlet of the aspirator is located such that the stream of rag phase material is dispersed within the feed stream.
