Abstract
Solids are separated from a liquid in a gravity settler provided with inclined solid intercepting surfaces to intercept the solid settling path to coalesce the solids and increase the settling rate. The intercepting surfaces are inverted V-shaped plates, each formed from first and second downwardly inclined essentially planar sections which extend from the apex within the vessel to the lower portion thereof adjacent the vessel wall.
