1-6. (canceled)
A half pipe assembly for enhancing the operational effectiveness of a screen separator for separating solids from liquids in a supply of material from a flow line, comprising:
- a flattened portion;
- and
- opposing side walls,
- wherein the flattened portion and opposing side walls define a passage for the material to flow,
- wherein the half pipe assembly receives the material from the flow line along the flattened portion,
- wherein the passage substantially reverses the direction of flow of the material thereby reducing the velocity of the material.

A flow diverter assembly for enhancing the operational effectiveness of a screen separator for separating solids from liquids in a supply of material from a flow line, comprising:
- a conduit coupled to the flow line for receiving material from the flow line, wherein the conduit further comprises a ramp for a first deceleration of the flow of material and a first directional change of flow of the material;
- an end wall coupled to the conduit, wherein the end wall causes a second deceleration of the flow of material and a second directional change of flow of the material;
- and
- a half pipe assembly proximate to the end wall and having an inner curved surface for a third deceleration of the flow of material and a third directional change of flow of the material,
- wherein the material is further conveyed from the flow diverter assembly to a screen for separating solids from liquids.
