A filter device has a filter housing and a filter element arranged in the filter housing. The filter element at least partially encloses an inwardly positioned flow chamber. A purified medium can be discharged from the filter device through a flow socket provided with a wall that has an opening. A fastening flange is arranged at the wall of the flow socket adjacent to the opening, wherein a purging gas pipe of a purging device can be detachably fastened by the fastening flange to the flow socket. The opening in the wall of the flow socket receives the purging gas pipe.

Disclosed herein are decanting backwash receiver assemblies, and related methods of fabrication and use. The present disclosure provides improved decanting backwash receiver assemblies for decanting of input feeds, and improved systems/methods for utilizing and fabricating the decanting backwash receiver assemblies. The present disclosure provides decanting backwash receiver assemblies utilizing porous media insert members and/or porous media surfaces for the decanting of input feeds. Exemplary decanting backwash receiver assemblies are configured and dimensioned to receive a filter backwash surge flow of slurry (e.g., solids and liquid mixture), and provide for settling of the solids from flow 11, and provide for decanting of a liquid layer above the settled solids, and optionally provide for de wetting the settled solids, and provide for discharge of the settled solids (e.g., liquid wetted) from the bottom of the assemblies.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for computing systems are provided herein. In one example, a system includes processing modules each having a communication interface and a processor, and additional modules each having a communication interface. Communication switch circuitry is coupled to the communication interfaces of the processing modules and the communication interfaces of the additional modules, wherein the communication switch circuitry is configured to establish isolation among ports in the communication switch circuitry for one or more processing modules and one or more additional modules. At least one processor instantiates access to the one or more additional modules for the one or more processing modules over at least the isolation.

A urea water tank (11) is provided with a unit insertion opening (12H) that is disposed on a top surface part (12A) of a tank body (12) and opens more largely than an external dimension (D2) of a sensor unit (20), a sensor mounting member (16) that is disposed on the top surface part (12A) of the tank body (12) and closes the unit insertion opening (12H), and a filter which is formed as a tubular body to surround the sensor unit (20), and inserted in the unit insertion opening (12H) of the tank body (12) from a lower end (24A4)-side, and having an upper end (24A3) mounted on the top surface part (12A) of the tank body (12) by using the sensor mounting member (16).

According to at least one aspect, the invention provides a filter assembly (100) comprising a tubular housing and a filter device (70) locatable to extend longitudinally within the housing. The filter device (70) comprises a lattice structure of crossing internal and external elongated elements (18, 20). The lattice structure comprises an arrangement of pores (22), and the external elongated elements (20) are presented outwardly of the filter device (70) with respect to the plane of the pores, thereby to provide ribs on the exterior of the lattice which define a shaped channel that will act as a first level filter for larger particles. The external elongated elements are shaped and arranged to provide one or more additional filter levels for smaller particles in advance of said pores, through which yet even smaller particles may pass.

A lid assembly being attached to a pressure vessel includes a filter access cap having a top portion, a bottom portion, and a tubular portion extending from the top portion to the bottom portion to define a throughhole, the top portion having a radial slot. The lid assembly includes a seal plate assembly connected to the bottom portion of the filter access cap and configured to rotate relative to the filter access cap to assist in releasing a pressure from the pressure vessel, and a relief valve for releasing non-atmospheric pressure when opened. Further, the lid assembly includes a seal stem located in the throughhole, wherein the relief valve is mounted in the seal stem, and an arm operatively engaging the relief valve and having a proximal end pivotally secured to the lid assembly, whereby when the arm is pivoted in a first direction the relief valve can be opened.
