The vessel comprises a downwardly converging frustoconically-shaped bottom wall (16) which defines the lower region of the vessel. The mixing tube is provided with one or more longitudinally extending divider plate (36) which divide the mixing tube into a plurality of longitudinally extending compartments. The mixing tube is provided with a plurality of openings (44) which provide direct fluid flow communication with the interior of the vessel and the longitudinally extending compartments. The lower ends of the mixing tube and the compartments therein extend through the bottom wall of the vessel.
