Abstract:
1. A system to separate solids from liquids in a fluid, the system comprising: at least one tank; a series of alternating baffles disposed partially across a width of the tank along a height of the tank on opposing sides at opposite angles, wherein the series of alternating baffles define a tortuous flow path of the fluid from a bottom portion of the tank up through a central portion of the tank to a top portion of the tank without contacting front or rear portions of the tank to cause solids to settle out of the fluid along the front or rear portions of the tank; an inlet to the tank located at a centrally located position at the bottom portion of the tank; an outlet to the tank located at the top portion of the tank; and a solids sump located proximate a periphery of the bottom portion of the tank, wherein the sump is configured to collect the solids from the tank.
