Abstract
An immiscible liquid separator for maintaining a desired liquid relationship between an oil spillover and a water spillover irrespective of a tilt angle of the separator. The use of the separator is thus well adapted for use on ships and the like. The separator includes a cylindrical weir having an open top over which separated water spills when waste liquid is drained into the separator. The separator also includes a cylindrical oil stack having an open top over which separated oil spills when waste liquid is drained into the separator. The cylindrical oil stack is located within the cylindrical water weir, thus allowing the separator to function as desired independent of the angle of tilt of the separator.
