A potable water filter for an aircraft galley plumbing system is disclosed. In embodiments, the filter includes a body attachable to a mount via a central threaded attachment stud. The stud is surrounded by a filter mount chamber and encloses a central flow channel allowing outflow from the filter body to an outlet port. Potable water enters the mount through an inlet port including a barrel valve that opens to allow water flow when the filter body is screwed onto the stud, and seals off the filter mount chamber when the filter body is absent. The outlet port includes a check valve to prevent backflow into the filter. The filter body houses a solid block of sintered carbon with a hollow core. Water enters the filter chamber and flows around and through the carbon filter before flowing down to the outlet port. The filter body self-vents at its top.

Filters and filter devices for removing silica from ultra pure water, and methods for using the filters and filter devices, are disclosed.

Disclosed is a filter core water flow channel, comprising a filter core housing (1), the filter core housing (1) respectively comprising an upper area (1) and a lower area (12) in mutual communication according to high to low positions, the upper area (11) being provided with a front filter core (2), the lower area (12) being provided with a kernel filter core (3), the filter core housing (1) further being provided with a water inlet (5) and a water outlet (6), the water inlet (5) being in communication with the upper area (11) via the lower area (12) around the kernel filter core (3), water passing through the water inlet (5) and the lower area (12) surrounding the kernel filter core (3) and entering the upper area (11), and after filtering by the front filter core (2), water then flowing into the kernel filter core (3), and finally flowing out via the water outlet (6).

The present disclosure is directed to various methods and systems for monitoring real time efficiency of filters as well as testing the filters with tests that are similar to real world use of the filters to update technical specifications of the filters. The methods and systems monitoring the real time efficiency of the filters may utilize one or more particle counters to monitor their efficiency in real time. The data collected by the particle counters may be utilized to determine whether respective ones of the filters need to be replaced or regenerated by a backwash regeneration process. The updated technical specifications from the real world testing of the filters may be utilized in determining whether respective ones of the filters need to be replaced or regenerated. These real world testing and real time monitoring reduces the likelihood that workpieces are exposed to contaminant particles reducing scrap costs.

Provided is a hydrophilic porous membrane including a porous membrane and a hydroxyalkyl cellulose (preferably, hydroxypropyl cellulose) retained in the porous membrane, the hydroxyalkyl cellulose having a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and less than 110,000. The hydrophilic porous membrane of embodiments of the invention has high water permeability and can pass an integrity test in the case of being used as a filtration membrane of a filter cartridge. Also provided is a method for producing the above-mentioned hydrophilic porous membrane, the method comprising causing a hydrophilizing liquid including 0.005% to 0.500% by mass of a hydroxyalkyl cellulose having a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and less than 110,000, to permeate a porous membrane.

The present invention is directed to rigid filtration apparatus comprising a filter support and filter membrane. Such filter support is comprised of a central core. Radiating from the central core are a plurality of pleats composed of two angled walls terminating at a contact point. Such longitudinal walls circumscribe a longitudinal channel situated between the walls wherein the longitudinal channel is in communication with the central core. The longitudinal walls are comprised of a plurality of openings along the walls. A filter membrane having biocidal components may be utilized with the filter support to effectively treat contaminated fluid, gas or air. Alternatively, the composition of the rigid central core and the rigid pleats may be composed of different materials to selectively remove chemicals, biological components or pharmaceuticals in a multi-stage treatment process.

The present disclosure relates to a graphene filter module for water treatment including a graphene filter layer.
