ABSTRACT:
A separator for separating a solid or liquid from a liquid in which the former is suspended. In sedimentation (FIG. 1) the suspension is introduced into the lower end of plate stack 10 which is made up of plates 11. The clarified liquid flows out of the upper end of the plate stack and is withdrawn through conduit 32, while the separated material, e.g. solids, falls from the sides of the lower end of the plate stack into collector 33. Baffles 12 are disposed between the plates adjacent the lower end of the plate stacks and the baffles direct the incoming suspension toward the centerlines of the plates. This provides a zone of reduced velocity in the area adjacent the downstream side of the baffles, and results in more efficient removal of settled material from the plates.
