A method of removing solid concentrates from a fluid stream. The method includes steps of: pumping the fluid stream into a tower of a solids separation apparatus (SSA), transmitting a standing sonic wave, via a transducer of the SSA, inside of the tower; reflecting the standing sonic wave, via a reflector of the SSA, back to the transducer; adjusting one or both of the transducer and the reflector until anti-nodes of the standing sonic wave are aligned with at least one set of ports defined in the tower; forcing the solid concentrates of the at least one configuration in the fluid stream, via the standing sonic wave, into the at least one set of ports of at least one solids removal stage of the tower; and removing the solid concentrates into the at least one set of ports.
