Trying to understand a clue given in contest. First clue was used to seperate liquid from solid. Second clue is, It is used by Geotechnical Engineers also. Can anyone help?
 
What about a sieve?
 
What about a filter press.
 
Gravity....

In the particle size analysis test for fine grained soils, (hydrometer test)the solid soil particles are separated from the liquid by gravity in a graduated cylinder.
 
Slightly more high tech but... Centrifuge
