Abstract: A separating system, for example for separating material from a suspension such as a biological suspension, is disclosed herein. The system comprises a separation vessel arranged to enable the formation of a cyclone therewithin. For example, the separation vessel may be at least partially conical in shape for enabling the formation of a cyclone therewithin. The separation vessel comprises a fluid inlet, an underflow outlet, a first overflow outlet for removing fluid from a first region inside the separation vessel, and a second overflow outlet for removing fluid from a second region inside the separation vessel.

For example, the separation vessel may be at least partially conical in shape for enabling the formation of a cyclone therewithin. The separation vessel comprises a fluid inlet, an underflow outlet and an overflow outlet. The system also comprises at least one of an underflow outlet fluid control means for controlling the flow of fluid through the underflow outlet, and an overflow outlet fluid control means for controlling the flow of fluid through the overflow outlet. The system may further comprise an inlet fluid control means for controlling the flow of fluid through the fluid inlet.
