The principle of separation by which all commercially available oil/Water separators is the gravity differential between oil and water. In oily water mixtures, the oil exists as a collection of almost spherical globules of various sizes. The force acting on such a globule causing it to move in the water is proportional to the difference in weight between the oil particle and a particle of water of equal volume. This can be expressed as:

Principle The rising velocity of the globules carries them upwards where they become trapped by the under-surfaces of the plates and coalesce until the enlarged globules have sufficient rising velocity to travel along the plate surface and break away at the periphery

General Operating Procedure Before pumping oily water into the separator it is important that the separator is completely filled with clean water, either direct from the sea or through the filling valve provided for this purpose. It is essential to keep the lower internal surfaces and outer chamber from becoming coated with oil

6.5 Cleaning the Comyn oil/water Separater To clean out the separator ensure that all oil possible has been drawn off through the oil recovery valve and scum valve, and that the separator is full of water. Turn on steam to heating coil; also steaming out connection, and allow the separator to become thoroughly hot

（1) Subject to the provisions of regulations 10 and l1 of this Annex and paragraph (2) of this regulation, any discharge into the sea of oil or oily mixtures from ships to which this Annex applies shall be prohibited except when all the following conditions are satisfied a) for an oil tanker, except as provided for in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph :
