Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9732087A1] A device is intended to separate a surface layer (4) of a liquid (2) by means of a separating member (5) which is arranged to be kept submerged in the liquid at an operating position. The separating member (5) comprises a first inlet member (6), which in the operating position is located at a first inlet level below the free liquid surface of the surface layer (4) and enables a primary inflow of said surface layer into a space (17) of the separating member, and an outlet member (8), which is arranged to enable an outflow of liquid from said space (17) at level which is positioned below the first inlet member. Furthermore, the separating member (5) comprises a second inlet member (7) which, when the separating member is in said operating position, is provided below the first inlet member (6) and arranged to enable a secondary inflow of liquid to said space (17).
