<p>A mobile, self-contained, self-powered three stage apparatus is disclosed for separating solids from a liquid. Three stack separator pods are mounted over a housing on a mobile platform. A plurality of hydrocyclones are readily mounted with respect to the separator pods to provide for separating the solidds therewithin. Each successive separator pod contains a greater number of smaller diameter hydrocyclone so as to enable the separation of smaller diameter of particles. Each separator pod also includes degassing capabilities. A plurality of holding tanks act as reservoirs for the fluid and solid mixture prior to and subsequent to each separator pod. A system of internal weirs allows overflow of liquids from a holding tank containing cleaner mixture to a holding tank containing a greater proportion of solids, whereby liquid equilibrium is maintained within the system.</p> |
