A filter for removing particulate matter from a contaminated fluid. The filter includes a housing with an inlet for receiving the contaminated fluid and an outlet for releasing the filtered fluid. A sieve is mounted within the housing and includes perforations to allow both the passage of the contaminated fluid and collection of particulate matter from the filtered fluid. The filter further includes a turbine for rotating the sieve about a central axis and a spray bar mounted within the sieve. The rotation and spray removes particulate matter from the sieve for disposal.

A filter system for filtering solids includes a filtration tank for receiving a slurry containing the solids to be filtered. A filter assembly including a plurality of filter cells each having a filter medium at an exterior and a cavity at an interior is lowered into the filtration tank using a transport device carrying the filter assembly. A vacuum transfer system is connected to the filter assembly so as to transfer a vacuum to an interior of the filter cells. The vacuum transfer system is operable to perform the filtering and to retain the filtered solids while the transport device moves the filter assembly relative to the filtration tank.
