A method of separation of materials in a co-current lamella separation process producing streams of clarified liquid and concentrated solids, wherein for the purpose of increasing the separation efficiency a step of intercepting the said separated streams is provided, whereby remixing of the said separated streams is prevented. Several apparatus types are possible, including the use of separator means combining the function of the secondary phase separation. The figure illustrates an apparatus for three phase material separation including body (1), two lamella sections with plates or tubes (6), troughs (5) and an optional gas deflection baffle (11). Optionally, a tertiary separation section (4) can also be provided for thorough treatment of liquids.
