The hydroclone 10 has a fluid inlet 14, a filtered fluid outlet 16, an effluent outlet 18, a processing fluid outlet 20 and an inner peripheral wall 22 centered around the central axis X. It includes a tank 12 including a chamber 24 provided. The hydroclone is i) a filter assembly 26 located within the chamber 24, which is located symmetrically about the central axis X and provides a filtrate chamber 46 in fluid communication with the filtered fluid outlet 16. The filter assembly 26, including an enclosing outer membrane surface 44; And ii) a cleaning assembly 50 rotatably coupled and concentrically positioned around the membrane surface 44. The fluid path 28 extends from the fluid inlet 14 and forms a vortex region 25 configured to receive incoming fluid between the inner peripheral wall 22 of the chamber 24 and the membrane surface 44. . An inlet flow shield 58 is located concentrically around the filter assembly 26 and blocks at least a portion of the fluid flowing from the fluid inlet 14 into the chamber 24 from impacting the membrane surface 44. It is suitable for
