A particle separator comprises a vessel, a fluid inlet, a fluid swirl passage, a scupper cavity, a first fluid outlet, and a second fluid outlet. The vessel includes a vessel sidewall extending between a vessel top side and a vessel bottom side. The fluid swirl passage includes a first passage end in communication with a fluid inlet disposed on the vessel top side. A second passage end is in communication with a vessel swirl cavity defined at least in part by an inner surface of the vessel sidewall. The scupper cavity includes a scupper entrance disposed along the inner surface of the vessel sidewall, and is spaced circumferentially apart from the second passage end. The first fluid outlet is in communication with the scupper cavity and disposed on the vessel bottom side. The second fluid outlet is disposed above the first fluid outlet in communication with the vessel swirl cavity.
