Settleable-particles are separated from a dirty flow of
settleable-particles and fluid by trays having a planar section
configured with opposed ends and opposed sides, and an entrance edge and
an exit edge on opposed ends. The section has opposed side edges, and an
upturned entrance lip at each of the entrance and exits edges, with
downturned lips at each side edge. A settler unit has one tray as an
upper tray and another tray as a lower tray, the two trays being mounted
parallel and at a low-angle to define a dirty flow entrance, a clean flow
exit, and a pocket between the upturned entrance lip and the upturned
exit lip for receiving and capturing settled-particles from the dirty
flow while cleaner flow flows from the entrance to the exit. A sludge
exit is at each side of the trays for permitting the captured
settled-particles to exit the pocket.
