The system also includes a first screen vessel configured to receive at least a portion of the partially-separated fluid, the first screen vessel including a first shell, and a first screen that is positioned within the first shell and at least partially removable therefrom, and a second screen vessel spatially oriented parallel to the first screen vessel and configured to receive at least a portion of the partially-separated fluid. The second screen vessel includes a second shell and a second screen that is positioned within the second shell and is at least partially removable therefrom.
