Mobile clarifier system

A mobile clarifier system configured to separate settleable solids and floatable solids from a flow of water and/or processing fluids, the mobile clarifier system comprising:

• a trailer assembly;
• an inlet port configured to convey the flow of water and/or processing fluids to the trailer assembly, the inlet port including an inlet end and an outlet end;
• a plurality of separator cartridge assemblies supported by the trailer assembly and configured to receive the flow of water and/or processing fluids from the inlet port, each of the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies configured to separate the settleable solids and the floatable solids from the flow of water and/or processing fluids, each of the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies including a plurality of frameworks, each framework having an upper frame, a lower frame disposed opposite the upper frame, a first side frame, a second side frame disposed opposite the first side frame, and a plurality of intermediate frames extending from the upper frame to the lower frame and disposed between the first side frame and the second side frame, the plurality of frameworks including a plurality of vanes, each vane of the plurality of vanes extending from one of the first side frames and the second side frames to one intermediate frame of the plurality of intermediate frames and from one intermediate frame of the plurality of intermediate frames to another intermediate frame of the plurality of intermediate frames, each vane of the plurality of vanes extending a distance into each respective intermediate frame, whereby the plurality of intermediate frames and the plurality of vanes cooperate to form a flow zone, a transition zone, and a calm zone for the water and/or processing fluids flowing through each of the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies;
• a discharge pipe system configured to receive settleable solids from the calm zone and further configured to convey the settleable solids from the mobile clarifier system to downstream operations;
• and
• an outlet port configured to receive processed water and/or processing fluids flowing from the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies and further configured to convey the processed water and/or processing fluids to downstream operation, the outlet port positioned vertically below the outlet end of the inlet port,
• wherein the inlet port is disposed vertically above the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies and the inlet end of the inlet port is positioned vertically above the outlet end of the inlet port relative to the plurality of separator cartridge assemblies to militate against backflow of water out of the system.
