A device and method providing a textured substrate member and filtration device. The filtration device has a substrate member with a textured surface and a uniform surface on a side opposite the textured surface. The textured surface includes protrusions configured to interfere with a liquid flow traversing the textured surface to remove particulates entrained in the liquid flow. When the substrate member is disposed beneath a liquid source directed over the textured surface, the textured substrate forms a gravity-fed liquid filtration system. Also, a method for filtering particulates from a liquid includes providing a substrate member having a textured surface and a uniform surface opposite the textured surface; the textured surface having protrusions; configuring the plurality of protrusions to interfere with a liquid flow traversing the textured surface and remove particulates entrained in the liquid flow; and disposing the substrate member beneath the liquid flow.

A fluid cleaning system for cleaning contaminated water sources via at least one cleaning process. The system includes at least one solids dissociation apparatus that includes a housing, at least one insert operably engaged with the housing and is adapted to receive a continuous fluid stream, and a transducer operably engaged with the housing and is disposed about the at least one insert at a distance away from said at least one insert inside of the housing. The transducer is configured to create cavitation, via sonic waves, to eviscerate contaminants in the continuous fluid stream. The system also includes at least one solids separation apparatus operably connected with the at least one fluid treatment apparatus for receiving the eviscerated contaminants provided in the fluid stream. The at least one solids separation apparatus is adapted to separate the eviscerate contaminants from the fluid stream for at least one separation process.

To provide a method for producing a solid fuel that can efficiently evaporate moisture contained in a slurry by enhancing heat exchange efficiency.

The method for producing a solid fuel of the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a slurry by mixing powdery low-grade coal and oil; evaporating moisture contained in the slurry by heating; and separating the slurry obtained after the evaporation step into solid and liquid, wherein the evaporation step includes the steps of: preheating the slurry in a first circulation route; and heating the preheated slurry in a second circulation route that is different from the first circulation route. Preferably, in the preheating step and the heating step, a multitubular heat exchanger is used, the heating medium is supplied to the shell side, and the slurry is supplied to the tube side. Preferably, the process steam generated in the evaporation step is used as the heating medium for anyone of the preheating step and the heating step, and externally introduced steam is used as the heat medium for the other.

The present disclosure is generally related to the separation of liquids from solids and for the recovery of solids and/or liquids from slurries. In some embodiments, liquids are separated from solids by applying a reduced pressure. In some embodiments, slurries are flowed by applying a pressure gradient. In some embodiments, an apparatus is provided that comprises a channel, an inlet, an outlet, and one or more ports. One or more ports may be constructed and arranged to apply a pressure differential and/or a reduced pressure to the channel. Such systems and methods may, in some embodiments, facilitate continuous manufacturing of solid products.
