The present invention relates to a settling device for separating particles from bulk fluids for use in numerous fields. The particle settling device comprises a stack of cones having small openings oriented upward or downward. The cone has a convex inner surface. These devices can be used to separate small (millimeter or micrometer sized) particles from bulk fluids, and have applications in numerous fields, such as biological (microbial, mammalian, plant, insect or algae) cell culture, separation of solid catalyst particles from liquids or gases, and wastewater treatment. 关于应用于众多领域中的用于将颗粒与散装流体分离的沉降装置。颗粒沉降装置包含由具有向上或向下定向的小开口的圆锥体构成的堆叠。所述圆锥体具有凸状的内表面。这些装置可用于将小(毫米或微米尺寸的)颗粒与散装流体分离，并且应用于众多领域中，诸如生物(微生物、哺乳动物、植物、昆虫或藻类)细胞培养、固体催化剂颗粒与液体或气体的分离以及废水处理。
