An oil/water separator with inlet component, perforated plates and coalesence internals was designed in this paper. The influence of the perforated plates on the flow field and the structures of coalesence component on the oil/water separation were simulated by commercial software FLUENT. The results show that the perforated plates can prevent turbulence and eliminate back-mixing flow effectively. And the flow field uniformity was the best,when the distance between the two plates was 140mm.The separator with inclined plates had the highest separation efficiency of the three structures.
