System (10) for separating solids from slurry (12) from a source (14). The slurry (12) is flowed into a separation channel (20) positioned over a moving foraminous medium (26) to effect cross flow separation of liquid from the slurry (12) in an initial channel section (21) followed by separation of solids from the slurry (12) in a second channel section (23), all the separation being effected employing the moving foraminous medium (26). The flow rate of slurry (12), the rate of travel of the foraminous medium (26), and the differential pressure across the foraminous medium (26), as established by the pressure exerted by the flowing slurry on the foraminous medium (26) and the relative pressure underneath the foraminous medium (26), are controlled in different compartments (34a-34d) underneath the length of the separation channel (20) to provide optimum steady state separation. |
