The bottom section is configured to be connected to the lower portion of the inclined plate settler. The bottom section comprises at least one inlet channel for feeding a fluid comprising the solid component to be separated to the plate settler, and at least one collection channel for collecting a settled solid component descending from the at least one sedimentation channel. Said at least one inlet channel and said at least one collection channel are fluidly separated from each other, said inlet channel and said collection channel being connectable to said at least one sedimentation channel, to form fluid connections between said at least one inlet channel and said at least one sedimentation channel and between said at least one collection channel and said at least one sedimentation channel, respectively.
