A filter and filter media configured and arranged for placement in a fuel stream is disclosed. The filter and filter media allow for filtering of liquid fuels, such as diesel fuel. In certain embodiments the filter media includes a media fiber (such as glass) and a binder fiber (such as bicomponent) that combine to create a media structure having low solidity and relatively low compressibility, and which contain a pore structure that avoids premature fouling of the filter by fuel degradation products.

A filter assembly including a filter screen (27) comprising a band (27) of porous material extending between two axially aligned opposing ends (38, 38) and defining a cylindrical periphery (29), wherein the ends (38, 38) are each secured to a dynamic tensioning mechanism (46) that permits the ends (38, 38) to move bi-directionally relative to one another about the periphery (29) of the filter screen (27).

An example water well submersible pump filter may comprise: (1) a perforated cap; (2) a perforated hollow cylindrical middle member joined to the perforated cap at a first end of the perforated hollow cylindrical middle member; and (3) a filter crown comprising: (a) a hollow cylindrical crown segment joined to the second end of the perforated hollow cylindrical middle member at a first end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment, (b) a hollow conical crown segment joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment at a first end of the hollow conical crown segment, and (c) a ring of fins joined to, and extending longitudinally from, a second end of the hollow conical crown segment. The second end of the hollow conical crown segment may join to proximal ends of fins of the ring of fins.

A photocatalyst for air purification, a photocatalyst film including the photocatalyst, and an air purification device including the photocatalyst. The photocatalyst for air purification includes: a first metal oxide particle having ultraviolet absorptivity, and fluorine bound to a surface of the first metal oxide particle; second metal oxide particles present on the surface of the first metal oxide particle. The use of the photocatalyst for air purification to remove or degrade volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and viruses.

a pre-filter device capable of preventing water leakage, that includes: a connector, a water inlet channel, a plug, and a spring. The connector is connected to a water inlet tube, and is connected to the pre-filter device. The water inlet channel is disposed in the connector, and is connected to the pre-filter device. The plug is disposed in the water inlet channel, to open or close the water inlet channel. The spring is disposed between one end of the plug and the connector, the other end of the plug is connected to and acts in cooperation with the pre-filter device. When a pre-filter device capable of preventing water leakage is burst to leak out water, it is able to close the water inlet channel automatically, to avoid the problem deteriorating into flooding the entire household, to achieve timely self protection.

A pressure and heat molded polymer tube, formed of miniscule polyethylene beads, each in the vicinity of 115 um powder in diameter, which when compression molded forms pores that are of uniform diameter throughout their length within the range of 5 um-10 um, the tube having an upper flange, that mates within a correspondently shaped grommet, which when applied to the transverse plate of an air filtration housing, functions to cleanse highly efficiently the dust particles and debris from the air being filtered, when passing through the filtration system, so that such purified air can be discharged safely.

Screen designs and screens for a mechanical separation device are disclosed for separating solids from liquids in a process stream. A screen may have a plurality of openings, which are conical shaped, having a diameter of about 1.0 mm to about 1.4 mm in size that are formed on a stainless steel sheet.

A rotary tool for a mechanical separator, the tool can optionally comprise: a center shaft having a longitudinal axis; a plurality of longitudinal paddles coupled to the shaft, at least one paddle of the plurality of paddles having an inner edge and aligned radially relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the at least one paddle has an elongate extent along the longitudinal axis with opposing lateral sides along the elongate extent; and a flange having a triangular shape in a radial cross-section, the flange affixed to the inner edge of the at least one paddle and having an apex radially inward of the at least one paddle. Other examples of the application include the rotary tool having a plurality of tools and the mechanical separator having the capability of being raised or lowered to alter a residence time of slurry within the mechanical separator.

A filter element for the filtration of fluids can be manufactured from powdered metal using a laser manufacturing process. The powdered metal is deposited in a layer on fabrication platform and a laser beam is directed toward the layer of material so that the powdered metal granules fuse together to form a first component of the filter element. Successive layers of powdered metal can be deposited over the first component and also fused with the laser beam to form additional components. During the manufacturing process, the power or scan rate of the laser beam many be changed so that the formed layers of the filter element may have different porosity characteristics, for example, with certain portions being fluid permeable and other portions being fluid impermeable.

The present invention provides an oil slurry filter, a filter unit including the oil slurry filter, a multiple-filter system including the oil slurry filter, and a multiple-stage filter system including the oil slurry filter. Due to the use of the filter component of flexible texture in the oil slurry filter of the present invention, the problems that the filter material is easily blocked by high-viscosity colloidal impurities, the regeneration efficiency of the filter is poor and the filtration efficiency is low are solved, and it is possible to make the backwash treatment of the filter residue more convenient and improve the regeneration efficiency of the filter. The present invention also provides a filtering process using the oil slurry filter to ensure long-term stable operation of the oil slurry filtering process.
