An aqueous fluid filter assembly with aeration mitigation includes a cap, a bowl engaging the cap and defining a filter volume, and a filter element disposed in the filter volume. The filter element is sealed against an interior of the cap and an interior of the bowl to provide an unfiltered volume and a filtered volume. An inlet is in fluid communication with the unfiltered volume and an outlet is in fluid communication with the filtered volume via a pickup section. The pickup section has a pick-up section inlet extending into the filtered volume and an air-metering orifice, wherein the air-metering orifice has a diameter less than 30% of the diameter of the pick-up section inlet and the pick-up section inlet is located below the air-metering orifice.

A kitchen garbage processor, includes: a processor body, a dewatering component, and an oil-water separating component, the processor body has a working platform disposed thereon, an inlet for dumping kitchen garbage is disposed on the working platform, a fore end of the dewatering component is communicated with the inlet and configured to send a kitchen garbage that to be processed to the dewatering component to separate a solid garbage from a liquid garbage; a solid garbage outlet configured for sending out a processed solid garbage and a liquid garbage outlet configured for sending out a residual liquid garbage are disposed at a rear end of the dewatering component; a fore end of the oil-water separating component is communicated with the liquid garbage outlet so as to send liquid garbage that to be processed to the oil-water separating component to separate oil from water; an oil outlet configured for sending out separated oil and a water outlet configured for sending out separated water are disposed at a rear end of the oil-water separating component. Purpose of separating solid garbage, oil and water simultaneously is realized.

A filter assembly includes a filter element and a filter housing. The filter housing includes a shell defining an inner cavity, and a lid configured to engage the shell at an opening of the inner cavity. The filter element is disposed within the inner cavity and includes a media pack, a first endplate, and a sealing member. The first endplate is sealingly engaged with a media pack first end and includes a skirt extending along a longitudinal axis of the media pack from the first end toward the second end. The sealing member is coupled to the skirt and is positioned between and forms a seal between the lid and the shell.

An inner case being substantially cylindrical and being covered at an upper end is provided to cover a heater being substantially rod-shaped. A float being substantially plate-shaped and having substantially the same inner diameter as an inner diameter of the inner case is provided movably in the vertical direction in the inner case, and in the float, a hole through which the heater is inserted is formed. Gas is enclosed in a space surrounded by the inner case and the float. The length in the vertical direction of the inner case is smaller than the length in the vertical direction of the heater. In addition, when the float is positioned at a lower end of the inner case, a gap exists between the float and a bottom surface of a filter case.

A filter system and method for filtering. The filter system (SJ) having at least two filters (S1, S2) having filter elements for filtering a material to be filtered. The material to be filtered is conducted to a dirty side (LP) of the filter and filtered material is conducted out from a clean side (PP) of the filter. A clogged filter is washed by counterflow washing in which the filtered material is conducted from the clean side of one filter to the clean side of another filter.

A deaeration system is disclosed. A preliminary filtration stage is configured to filter particles from and nucleate gas in a fluid stream to create a filtered fluid stream. A primary filtration stage is downstream of the preliminary filtration stage configured to separate the filtered fluid stream into a first liquid stream and an air cavity concentrate stream. A secondary filtration stage is configured to receive the air cavity concentrate stream and separate the air cavity concentrate stream into a second liquid stream and a gas stream.

An immersion bioreactor device may include a vessel coupler, a first vessel, and a second vessel. The first vessel may include a first cavity and a first vessel aperture in fluid communication with the first cavity. The second vessel may include a second cavity and a second vessel aperture that may be in fluid communication with the second cavity. The vessel coupler may be configured to be removably coupled to the first and second vessels so that the first and second vessel apertures are in fluid communication with the vessel coupler. The vessel coupler may include a plate which may separate the vessel apertures from each other. One or more coupler apertures may be disposed in the plate, and the coupler apertures may enable fluid communication between the vessel apertures. Optionally, an adjustable vane disc may govern the fluid communication provided by the coupler apertures.

Methods and systems for recovering retained filtered fluid are provided.

Methods and systems for recovering retained filtered fluid are provided.

The invention relates to a filter cartridge (32) for a liquid such as fuel, said filter cartridge being intended to be positioned inside a filter housing (30) and comprising a filter media (38) defining an inner volume (V38), a lower end plate (40), and an upper end plate (42), including a liquid passage opening (O42), which communicates with the inner volume of the filter media. The upper end plate (42) includes an automatic degassing valve (50).
