    Abstract: An apparatus for separating a return material generated while drilling a borehole into a gas stream and a non-gas stream includes a chamber having an open upper end and an open lower end and a cap. The chamber may be oriented to allow gravity to pull the non-gas stream through the lower end. An inlet associated with the chamber may be oriented to flow the return material into the chamber at a substantially tangential angle. The cap partially encloses the upper end and includes a vent for venting the gas stream.
