ABSTRACT:
A device for separating particles from a fluid suspension has a container supplied with fluid containing suspended particles. A plurality of parallel, planar first plates are spaced apart in a direction normal to the plates and are stationarily disposed within the container. Interspersed in the spaces between the first plates is a plurality of second parallel, planar plates movable with respect to the first plates in a circular path and operating to provide limited shearing forces in the fluid and substantially without eddy currents. A discharge pipe receives particles separated by gravity from the sheared fluid between the various plates. In a related form, the plates instead of being planar are circular-cylindrical, spaced apart, and are relatively rotated about a common axis. A method of separating particles from a fluid suspension includes subjecting a fluid containing the particles in suspension to shearing forces without substantial eddy currents so that at least some of the particles separate from each other, or agglomerate, and separate from the fluid itself by gravity.
