🔍 Key Concepts

• How a gravity-type oily‑water separator works (oil droplets rising, water settling) • Effect of emulsions and detergents/surfactants on droplet size and separation • Difference between process mode vs. sludge/oil discharge modes in the GS‑0113 figures

💭 Think About

• Look at FIGS. A–D and note how the separator relies on oil rising and water flowing out. What must be true about the oil and water for that to happen efficiently? • Which condition in the answer choices would keep oil and water from cleanly separating into two layers inside the tank? • Do small air leaks in discharge piping affect what happens inside the separation chamber as much as chemicals that change the oil–water relationship?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which answer choice involves the oil being finely dispersed in the water instead of forming larger droplets that can rise. • Check which choice describes something that would directly interfere with gravity separation and coalescing plates, not just piping issues. • Confirm that the separator in process mode (FIG. C/D) depends on normal oil–water behavior, and think about what mixture type would defeat that.
