The components indicated as "7" and "8" as shown in the illustration, are known as the __________. GS-0153

Correct Answer: Option D — inlet weir and inlet baffle

In oily-water separator design, the inlet weir and baffle assembly manage the initial flow velocity and separation. These components prevent turbulence from disturbing the oil-water interface, ensuring that heavier solids settle while lighter oil droplets begin to rise toward the coalescing media, as required by MARPOL Annex I equipment standards.
