🔍 Key Concepts

• Study how the bilge oily water separator tank is arranged from inlet (bottom/side) to outlet (top/side). • Note what a weir is (a vertical plate or wall that liquid flows over) and what a baffle does (changes flow direction / calms flow). • Compare where stages of oil separation occur versus where the clean water exits the unit.

💭 Think About

• Trace the flow path: where does oily water first enter the separator, where does it go next, and where does the cleaner water finally leave? • Look at the shapes of parts 7 and 8: do they look like flow-directing plates or like separate chambers/tanks? • Ask yourself whether 7 and 8 are located where the mixture first arrives, in the middle of separation, or just before leaving the separator.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which side of the separator shell shows the inlet connection and which side shows the outlet connection. • Check if components 7 and 8 are directly adjacent to the outlet nozzle or closer to the inlet. • Confirm whether any labels or surrounding parts suggest a first stage or second stage separator near numbers 7 and 8.
