Abstract

The invention concerns an apparatus and associated method for removing particulate matter from a flow stream. The apparatus includes an evaporator (29) for creating a concentrated phase from the flow stream, the concentrated phase containing particulate matter. A separator includes means (60) for introducing a flocculant into the concentrated phase so as to agglomerate particulate matter by flocculation. The agglomerated particulate matter is separated from the concentrated phase in the separator (30). Means are provided for returning the concentrated phase, absent the separated particulate matter, to the evaporator (29), and for removing the flow stream, absent the separated particulate matter, from the evaporator (29).
