A modular, compact, mobile, dewatering and liquid-liquid separation and filtration system. The system processes incoming influents of slurries, solids and liquids at a high speed of operation and in large volumes. System is capable of being modularly scaled, allowing for a continuous steady state operation accommodating any slurry flow rate in a synchronous dynamic equilibrium process. Components and modules integrated into the system include a dynamic filtration clarifier 101 (DFC), a nested-filter dewatering cell 115 (NDC) and/or a compression filter press 125 (CFP). The DFC performs the primary dewatering phase of separating the primary water from the solids creating sludge. The NDC further breaks apart the solids of the sludge, removing interstitial water in a secondary dewatering phase, further lowering the moisture content of the sludge, while the CFP removes the tertiary water from the remaining solid particles by pressing the particles into a solid cake.

The invention relates to a device (10) for encasing a filter unit and/or separation unit (22), wherein the filter unit and/or separation unit (22) and/is movable within the device (10) and easily removable from said device (10), and a used filter unit and/or separation unit (22) can be replaced just as easily with a new filter unit and/or separation unit (22).

An assembled support for supporting an adsorbent according to an embodiment of the present invention may include two or more core members configured to be coupled in the longitudinal direction and configured to include: a cylindrical body configured to have a plurality of first partitions formed therein to enable ventilation; at least one pair of first coupling protrusions configured to be provided on the rim of one end of the body to face each other; and at least one pair of first coupling protrusion receiving portions configured to be provided on the rim of the other end of the body to face each other, wherein the first coupling protrusions of one core member are received in the first coupling protrusion receiving portions of another core member in order to thereby couple the core members to each other, and wherein the surfaces of the core members are coated with hydrocarbon adsorbents.

A modular filter element frame (10) and a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) are disclosed. The filter element frame (10) has an elongate body (12) with a central bore (14) extending axially through the body. In cross-section the body has at least three smooth-ended lobes (16) that extend radially therefrom. The lobes are angularly spaced about the central bore such that a longitudinally extending channel (18) is formed along the body between adjacent lobes. Each channel has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures (20) extending into the central bore. Axially outer ends (24, 28) of the body are adapted to enable axial stacking thereof with like modular filter element frames to cooperatively form a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) with a required axial length. The assembly may receive a filter sleeve such that the sleeve extends at least partially along an outer periphery thereof.
