The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for separating the solid phase from the liquid phase in a liquid containing suspended matter, such as liquid manure, according to the preamble of claims 1 and 13. In order to be able to separate the solid phase from the liquid phase in such a way as to make the process more dynamic, prevent the outlet from being blocked as a result of clogged filters, and significantly reduce the energy required for separating the solid phase from the liquid phase, the liquid manure is mixed with a precipitation agent or a precipitation agent is fed to the liquid manure before the liquid manure is introduced into a settling tank, whereupon in the settling tank, the matter already suspended prior to the precipitation process and/or the matter suspended in the precipitation process is settled or separated as a solid phase, and then the settled or separated solid phase is separately withdrawn from the liquid phase forming as a clarified zone. |
