An apparatus for separation of fine liquid dispersions is described and its performance characteristics are studied. It provides high separational efficiency at high flowrates and small pressure drop. The emulsion enters axially in a cylindrical cartridge, then flows radially through a multi-layer packing where phase separation takes place. The coalesced phase forms a film, which is continuously lead to the interface. The mainfeatures of the unitareoutlined and a comparison withothersimilar units is made.
