ABSTRACT:
This clarifier comprises a plurality of separation elements stacked within a vessel in vertical columns so as to provide a plurality of single stage separation elements for clarifying or separating a substance of heavier density from a liquid having a lesser density. Each of the separation elements provides a uniform cross section in the direction of fluid flow dependent upon factors such as the particular characteristics of the heavier-density substance and the liquid, the height of the particular separation element in the vertical column, and the desired clarity of the liquid flowing from the clarifier. Each separation element includes a predetermined number of separation apertures having predetermined cross sectional areas. Each separation element has two portions joined at an angle and the separation elements are retained in pairs of vertical columns in a manner so as to suggest a chevron-like pattern, with a clarified liquid flow path through the center of the pair of columns.
