The removable nozzle can be modified as necessary to optimize separation within the sand trap. The method includes determining a first optimal diameter for a first removable nozzle and installing the first removable nozzle into said adjustment block. Next, a second optimal diameter for a second removable nozzle is determined. The first removable nozzle is removed and the second removable nozzle is installed.
