Abstract:
1. A system for separating from a fluid a solid particle fraction and at least one fraction selectable from liquid and gas, the system comprising: a fluid inlet; a screening device in communication with the fluid inlet; a piping arrangement with a plurality of pipes for conveying said fractions from said screening device, a plurality of outlets in communication with the piping arrangement, the at least two fractions being directed towards a respective one of said outlets, an under-pressure generating device comprising a vacuum tank and is suction device enabling creation of an under-pressure within the system, and thereby enabling inflow of air into the system from outside the system; at least one container arranged for receiving through an upstream end thereof the solid particles from a respective one of the pipes, said at least one container being in communication with the under-pressure generating device to create an under-pressure within the at least one container; and a vacuum tank of the under-pressure-generating device linked to the piping arrangement and to said screening device and configured to thereby cause movement of liquid fractions of the fluid from the inlet and the screening device to the vacuum tank, wherein the under-pressure generating tank is fluidly connected to at least the screening device and the at least one container.
