Separators are processing units that are used to separate water (aqueous phase) and an immiscible (nonmixing) liquid (non-aqueous phase). Separators are used in a variety of industries:

Chemical processing (separation of aqueous and non-aqueous solutions).
Secondary oil production (water recovery).
Environmental (recovery of grossly contaminated water).

Separators are charged with the mixture which is allowed to separate into two phases, the aqueous (water or water solution) and the non-aqueous (oil, fuel, organic solvent, or solution). Depending upon the density of the non-aqueous component relative to water, the mixture will either float to the top of the water (the usual case) or precipitate to the bottom. The separated components are simply pumped or allowed to drain from the separator.
