partial quantity of liquid
Explanation:
I think it refers to a quantity of liquid which is discharged through the underflow along with the solid particles. Maybe this amount of liquid returns back to the system.

  -> small partial quantity of liquid, in the sense that it is a small percentage of the liquid quantity. Yes, in fact it does. I thaugt of small partial flow, but flow is Strömung in German. So my rephrasing may fit. Of course I am not certain about it.

agree  Johannes Gleim: Teilmenge = partial quantity, subset acc. Kucera, Dict. of Exact Science and Technology.
