Abstract
A separator for separating solids from a liquid/solid stream. The separator has a cylindrical separation chamber in which the stream is subjected to centrifugal forces against a separation wall. An exit port near the bottom of the separation chamber passes solids and some liquid to a lower sump. A plurality of axially and radially extending vanes in the sump quiet the movement of the solids. Optionally the vanes can extend into a quiescent region above the exit port.
