Abstract
- Optimal dimensions of rectangular plate-type micro-separators.
- Droplets size smaller than separator height: creaming main demulsification mechanism.
- Creaming: separation rate limited by removal of the cream layer from the separator.
- Droplets size larger than separator height: coalescence of the droplets.
- Coalescence greatly enhances and accelerates the separation action.
