Petroleum-water separation systems play a crucial role in separating water and petroleum. Given the increasing demand for water in recent times, the production of separated water has become of significant value. This study consists of a series of experimental investigations carried out using one of the commonly used gravitational methods for separating petroleum-water mixtures, which involves perforated plates. In the study, a petroleum-water mixture containing 13% petroleum, obtained from a crude petroleum production site, was used to examine separation efficiency for three different SHUIRUDWHGSODWHFXUYDWXUHDQJOHV DQG DQGWKUHHGLIIHUHQWSXPSLQJIORZ UDWHV and 27 liters per minute).

Moreover, it is understood that by balancing the pumping flow rate and plate curvature angle, separation efficiency can be optimized. These separation systems hold significant potential, especially in terms of water resource conservation and reducing environmental impacts.
