Summary:A method and apparatus for oil- water separation utilises a coalescing element having a coalescing layer of polymeric gel applied to a porous base, the layer being water- insoluble and oil-repelling to coalesce dispersed oil. The direction of flow through the element is periodically reversed to prevent clogging, and the coalesced oil is separated from the water in a downstream settling tank.
