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

Correct Answer: Option B — inlet weir and inlet baffle

Components 7 and 8 function as the inlet weir and baffle assembly. These elements are designed to reduce the velocity of the incoming bilge water, preventing turbulence that would otherwise disrupt the gravity separation process and ensuring a smooth, laminar flow into the primary separation chamber of the unit.
