Gravity is responsible for water resting at the bottom of a glass instead of hovering over at the top. The force of attraction between the earth and the moon causes tides in the ocean. This is the result of gravity. Gravity causes the moon to revolve around the earth. Gravity has the same effect on all objects.

There are two primary types of oil-water separators: gravity and coalescing plate. Generally, oil-water separators consist of three chambers: a forebay, a separator section, and an afterbay. As the oil-water mixture progresses through the system, the oil naturally separates from the water and floats to the surface where it is removed.
The theory of gravity classification processes is usually based on the regularities of the behavior of isolated particles in a flow. This approach has been justly criticized since long ago, since it is impossible to interpret the phenomena observed in actual processes (incomplete separation, affinity of curves, products contamination, …
