Description/Abstract A separator for separating particles carried in a fluid carrying medium is disclosed.^The separator includes an elongated duct and associated openings incorporated in a solid body.^The duct is axisymmetrical relative to its longitudinal axis, and includes a curved wall portion having a curved cross-section taken along the longitudinal axis.^An axisymmetrical opening located downstream of of the curved wall portion leads from the duct into an axisymmetrical channel which is substantially radially disposed relative to the longitudinal axis.^Continuation of the duct downstream of the opening is a discharge portion which is substantially colinear with the longitudinal axis.^In operation, a substantial majority of the fluid carrying medium leaves the duct radially through the opening and channel in a state substantially free of particles.^A remaining small portion of the fluid carrying medium and a substantial majority of the particles are channelled into the discharge portion by centrifugal forces arising due to travel of the particles along the curved walls.^For industrial scale separation of particles from a fluid carrying medium, such as for the clean-up of stack gases, an array of several hundred to several thousand of the separators is provided.
