A device for venting a processing vessel (2) comprising: a separation unit (20) including a fluid permeable separator (26) for separating a solid from a fluid present in a fluidic solid dispersion, the separation unit (20) having an interface component (22) for attachment to a wall (8) of a processing vessel (2) in a manner so that the interface component generally integrates with the wall forming a substantially contiguous wall surface and a cleaning mechanism (50) that is in fluid communication with the separation unit (20) and that is adapted to extract the fluid that is separated from the fluidic solid dispersion from the processing vessel, and to periodically and/or continuously agitating the solids on the surface of the separation unit so that the fluid can pass through the separator. |
