A particle separator for use in connection with a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The particle separator extends circumferentially less than 360 degrees between a first end and a second end. In one embodiment, an inner scavenge conduit is spaced radially inward from an outer scavenge conduit. An inlet can be located between the outer scavenge conduit and the inner scavenge conduit and adapted to receive airflow. A plurality of separated airflow paths can be located between the inner and outer scavenge conduits. The outer scavenge conduit and the inner scavenge conduit can be adapted to receive particles separated from the inlet airflow as the inlet airflow passes along the curved separating portion.
