SEPARATOR, There is disclosed a separator of the low energy type comprising a cylindrical vessel (1) in which rotational movement of liquid and suspended solids within the vessel (1) is sufficient to cause and enhance an inward sweeping effect towards an annular opening in the base (3) on solids accumulated at the base (3) of the vessel (1), whilst being of sufficiently low energy that separation of the solid components of the liquid in the vessel (1) is brought about primarily by gravity. In order to trap floatables material, a floatables trap (19) is provided inward of an annular dip plate (9) in the vessel (1).
