<p>A cross-flow separator, comprising an assembly of plates arranged at mutually equal distances at an inclination, between which plates passages for passing a liquid to be treated are defined, in which the flow direction of said liquid is directed transversely to the direction of largest inclination of said plates, said plates being provided with profiles defining collecting gutters for components separated from said liquid and extending substantially in said direction of largest inclination, in which the profiles are situated so that the collecting gutters defined thereby are facing each other at either side of a liquid passage. The profiles can be formed by upstanding ridges on plane plates at both sides of each plate which are substantially aligned, or by corrugations in the plates, and then the corrugations in two adjacent plates are in phase opposition, said corrugations having, in particular, a substantially trapezoidal cross-section.</p> |
