A filtration apparatus is provided. The filtration apparatus includes a housing and a plurality of filtering sheets. The housing is enclosed by a first end cap and a second end cap. The first end cap includes a liquid inlet, and the second end cap includes a liquid outlet. The plurality of filtering sheets is disposed on an internal sidewall of the housing. A portion of the filtering sheets interlaces with another portion of the filtering sheets to form a winding flow path in the housing.

The present invention provides a multi plate screw press sludge dewatering machine and a helical shaft thereof. The multi plate screw press sludge dewatering machine includes fixed rings, movable rings, the helical shaft, a sludge inlet tank and a sludge discharging tank; the helical shaft adopts a variable diameter variable pitch helical shaft, a lead angle arrangement sequence of a helical blade of the whole helical shaft is gradual reduction from the sludge discharging tank to the sludge inlet tank, and the lead angle arrangement sequence is gradually reduced from 16°-22° to 6°-14°; a pitch of the helical shaft is gradually increased along a direction from the sludge inlet tank to the sludge discharging tank; a diameter of a shaft body of the helical shaft is gradually increased along with a direction of the sludge discharging tank from a ⅓ position of a shaft length; and blockage prevention plates are arranged on two sides of the bottom of the helical blade. The helical shaft in the present invention is specially designed, so that the pitch is more reasonable, a helical angle is gentler, frictional resistance when sludge passes through the helical shaft may be effectively reduced, and phenomena of shaft blockage and shaft sticking of the sludge may be reduced.

Apparatus and method disclosed herein related to first stage gravity separation of liquid and sand from a gaseous fluid stream in an upper portion of a desanding vessel, sand separating from gas along an annular path about a shell, the sand-free gas directed back down into the shell to a fluid outlet for removal as a product stream. A second stage gravity separation of sand from accumulated liquid occurs in a lower section of the vessel. An optional final or polishing stage of the liquid is conduct using a filter. A stacked-plate filter can extend an intake opening of the fluid outlet into the accumulated liquid. Further, the filter plates can be configured with parallel filtering of gas/liquid separation for gas intake above, and with liquid/sand separation below including pressure management of the filter operation.

Disclosed is a laminated spiral solid-liquid separator with a torsional pendulum motion, the separator comprising fixed rings, movable rings and a screw shaft, wherein the screw shaft is provided with the fixed rings and the movable rings in a staggered arrangement in a radial direction to form a cavity. The separator further comprises a support rod sleeved in one end of the movable ring. The movable rings connect all the movable rings together to form a linkage by means of one or more kind of linkage mechanisms. The linkage is driven by one or more drive devices to swing about the support rod which is served as the center. Support devices are arranged on two or more positions in the cavity. Both a fixing rod on the fixed rings and the support rod on the movable rings pass through the support devices.

Described is a stacked-plate apparatus having a plurality of plates stacked along an axis and having gaps between adjacent plates, each of which act as flow passageways for flow of fluid from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet. Pairs of adjacent plates comprise one and optionally two lips, which extend axially into the flow passageway at the fluid inlet, thereby narrowing an inlet gap between the plates at the fluid inlet. The lips enhance the flow of fluid towards the fluid outlet of the flow passageway, for at least a working distance downstream thereof, as compared to a pair of adjacent plates that does not have the lips.

A filter moving device is disclosed that is designed to lift and move a filter cartridge stack comprised of individual filter cartridges. The filter cartridge stack, for instance, may comprise a plurality of disk-shaped filter cartridges. The filter moving device is designed to be placed over the stack. The device includes lifting elements that engage the stack for removing the stack from a filter assembly and/or installing the stack in a filter assembly.

This disclosure relates a fluid filter whose pores are created by raised structures on a base. The raised structures may be macro, micro and/or nanometer scale structures. The structures can be configured in myriad ways to control flow rate and extracted particle size of a filtering system. Typically a plurality of filter panels will be stacked to form a filtering unit.
