Abstract
This invention describes an overflow system for a slurry storage chamber which chamber has a slurry input pipe tangentially mounted through a side wall of the tank to create a vortex. The overflow portion is designed to have a pressure confining top to the tank with the overflow pipe connected near the center of the top. A conically shaped baffle is inserted in the tank with its axis aligned with the axis of the overflow pipe and positioned immediately below the overflow pipe. The overflow configuration provides a means for separating the particles from the fluids passing out through the overflow pipe.
