A top cover component and a water softening device. The top cover assembly includes: a first frame body (110), a first top cover component (120) and a second top cover component (130). The first frame body (110) is formed with a first opening (52); the first top cover component (120) is connected to the first frame body (110) through a flexible member (112), and is switchable between an open state and a closed state; and the second top cover component (130) is connected to the first frame body (110) and located on a side of the first opening (52).

A system for purifying bioactive proteins in a fluid that includes at least one fractal subsystem and a filter press structured and arranged to support at least one fractal subsystem in a horizontal arrangement to provide a selectively adjustable bed depth, wherein each fractal subsystem is in fluid communication with every other fractal subsystem each fractal subsystem. The fractal subsystem may include a resin chamber and a pair of fractal packs, wherein the pair of fractal packs is disposed on opposing sides of the resin chamber. The resin chamber may include a frame, a plenum space through the frame for holding a resin, a pair of mesh screens for containing the resin within the plenum space, and a pair of feed material ports adapted to at least one of introduce a fluid into the plenum space or remove a fluid from the plenum space.
