Abstract

Apparatus for transferring settled or suspended solids from an open vessel (4) into a closed vessel (6), the apparatus comprising a suction line (22) which extends from the closed vessel (6) to the open vessel (4) via drive means (24), such as a pump or compressor, and a solids feed line (26) which extends from a solids outlet (18) in the open vessel (4) to a solids inlet in the closed vessel (6), a fluidising apparatus (10) being provided to fluidise the solids in the open vessel (4).
