The invention relates to a pulse filter having two stage filters, each having filtering properties different from each other. The first stage filter, through which the fluid flow to be cleaned passes first, is arranged to filter coarser materials and the second stage filter is arranged to filter finer substance from the fluid flow. The first and second stage filter are formed as separate pleated structures, which are optionally a distance forming an air gap away from each other.

The Edo Cup 2.0 is an open, suspended, accordion type paper single cup fillable completely biodegradable and recycle-able beverage disposable filter.

The filter can be in several shapes and sizes and may display corporate logs, up to an including religious symbols, sayings and holiday messages.

The filter may enclose flavors (in the filter paper) or be pre-soaked in flavors prior to packaging for sale.

A filter has a filter center tube that includes a plurality of layers of solidified material including a first layer with a first undulating strip of solidified material extending in a first predetermined direction, and a second layer with a second undulating strip of solidified material extending in a second predetermined direction. The first layer is in contact with the second layer and the first predetermined direction is not parallel with the second predetermined direction, forming a plurality of pores therebetween.

A core sheet includes a primary textured surface and separate secondary cuspations or corrugations. The core sheets are configured for use within a fluid or wastewater treatment unit that typically includes one or more fabric layers. The primary textured surface enhances retention of wastewater fluid received by the unit, which over time causes an increase in build-up of biomatter on the surface, which in turn enhances the efficacy of treatment of the wastewater.

Pleated filtration media, media packs, filter elements, and methods for filtering fluid are provided which contain three dimensional flutes in the media surface, the flutes configured to improve filter performance. In certain embodiments the flutes have defined peaks that reduce masking between adjacent pleats, the flutes have ridges along their length to modify flute cross sectional geometry, and/or the flutes provide for volume asymmetry across the media.

The present disclosure provides a nonwoven material including a blend of a first plurality of monocomponent fibers and a second plurality of segmented fibers having segments of a first polymer and segments of a second polymer different from the first polymer, wherein the nonwoven material includes about 75 to about 95% by weight of the monocomponent fibers, and about 5 to about 25% by weight of the segmented fibers, based on the total weight of the nonwoven material, and wherein the segmented fibers are at least partially fibrillated or split. An air filter including the nonwoven material is also provided.

A product that is an apparatus for removing debris from water containing such debris using a perforated plate, a backer plate, and a skimmer, positioned adjacent the back of the perforated plate to provide a means of removing debris from the perforated plate without scraping the debris from the perforated plate, the skimmer bar and the backer plate being synchronized in their movement.

Filtration media, media packs, and filtration elements are described, including fluted filtration media having offset flutes arranged to intermittently contact flutes on adjacent media, including angled and curved flutes. Pleated filtration media with alternating sealed pleat edges are also disclosed, including fluted media with alternating sealed flutes. A media pack can have a first sheet of media and a second sheet of media. The first sheet of media can have a first plurality flutes defining first flute valleys extending between a first face and a second face of the media pack. The second sheet of media can have a second plurality of flutes defining second flute peaks extending between the first face and the second face of the media pack. The first plurality of flutes can be non-parallel to the second plurality of flutes, and each first flute valley contacts one second flute peak at a discrete contact point.

A wastewater treatment system includes a cavity configured to receive a flow of wastewater for treatment. One or more core sheets are arranged within the cavity in a position to be contacted by wastewater entering the cavity. The core sheet has a primary textured surface enhances retention of wastewater fluid received by the unit, which over time causes an increase in build-up of biomatter on the surface, which in turn enhances the efficacy of treatment of the wastewater. One or more sheets of fabric may be used with the core sheet. The cavity may be within an aerobic treatment unit (ATU).
