1. A dynamic phase separator for separation of a multi-phase mixture influent, comprising:

  • a housing defining a chamber divided into two regions by a non-porous inner wall disposed radially inward relative to an outer wall, a gross separation region defined between the inner wall and the outer wall, a fine separation region inside an area defined by the inner wall and a top of the chamber, an inlet defined in the outer wall for receiving in the gross separation region the multi-phase mixture influent to be separated;

    a rotatable shaft disposed within the fine separation region, the shaft having a channel defined through at least a portion thereof; and

    a plurality of porous disks disposed only in the fine separation region and mounted to the rotatable shaft, the disks being in fluid communication with the channel in the shaft, the disks having a substantially smooth surface to minimize turbulence during rotation and relief holes defined therein proximate the rotatable shaft.
