    The disclosed method and apparatus separates solid impurities from a fluid containing solid impurities. The method and apparatus allow the introduction of influent comprising a fluid containing solid impurities into a plurality of channels and allowing at least a portion of the solid impurities initially present in the influent to settle on upward-facing surfaces of a plurality of plates forming the channels or slide down the upward-facing surfaces, while permitting fluid, which has been…

    The disclosed method and apparatus separates solid impurities from a fluid containing solid impurities. The method and apparatus allow the introduction of influent comprising a fluid containing solid impurities into a plurality of channels and allowing at least a portion of the solid impurities initially present in the influent to settle on upward-facing surfaces of a plurality of plates forming the channels or slide down the upward-facing surfaces, while permitting fluid, which has been depleted of at least a portion of solid impurities, to flow upward toward the top edges of the plurality of plates. The influent is introduced into the plurality of channels in a manner that inhibits a disrupting or disturbing of the solid impurities, which have separated from the influent.

    A filtering apparatus removes solid material from a fluid in a channel. The filtering apparatus comprises a housing that comprises a substantially vertical passage, a substantially horizontal passage connected to the vertical passage, and an outlet connected to the substantially horizontal passage; a filter medium comprising a plurality of transverse rods and a plurality of filter plates rotatably disposed along each of the transverse rods; a guide track system configured to guide the endless belt from the channel to the outlet; and a drive mechanism configured to convey the filter medium around the closed loop. The guide track system comprises two or more release points where the bearing portions of the filter plates can rotate about the transverse rods so as to permit dislodgement of the solid material from the filter plates. The two release points are located in a portion of the closed loop in the substantially horizontal passage.
