Abstract
There is disclosed a separation vessel which is defined by a cylindrical wall (2) and a base (38), there being a solids collection region (12) centrally disposed of the base (38), an outlet (8) disposed in an upper region of the vessel, and a flow modifying member (14) positioned adjacent the base (38), the arrangement of the vessel being such that liquid carrying particulate material may flow upwardly to the top of the vessel toward the outlet (8) in a substantially axial direction. Also disclosed is a method of separating components of a liquid mixture from each other and a method of classifying a particulate material.
