Abstract
A flow divider of the type here involved consists of a cylindrical tank having a tangential inlet near the top and a plurality of tangential outlets near the bottom. The tangential inlet produces a swirling or cyclonic action but solid material entrained or suspended in the liquid does not remain uniformly distributed in the liquid and thus the several outlets do not contain uniform quantities of solid material. The present disclosure provides an annular internal flange between the inlet and outlet passages which produces turbulence in the liquid adjacent to the wall of the tank which results in uniform solid material concentrations at the several outlets.
