Liquid-solids separator

A continuous flow liquids-solids separator for removing particulate solids suspended in gas scrubbing liquids used in industrial stack gas scrubbing systems. The separator includes a solids separating tank having a pair of parallel perforated walls and an inlet aligned to direct an entrant flow of the liquid-solids suspension in a direction generally parallel with the perforated walls to promote separation of the suspension such that particulate solids are retained in the tank while the scrubbing liquids flow into a liquids reservoir. The tank is supported within the reservoir and is connected with a bleed discharge line which accomodates continuous evacuation of the retained solids from the tank concurrent with the discharge of scrubbing liquids through an outlet in the liquids reservoir.
