A fluid filter apparatus includes a first surrounding sidewall, a co-axial second surrounding sidewall, a co-axial third surrounding sidewall, and a co-axial fourth surrounding sidewall, an outer annulus as between the first and third surrounding sidewalls, and a domed end on the fourth sidewall, wherein a first interior is formed between the second and the fourth sidewalls. Also, a ported head body that includes two pairs of opposing inlet and outlet apertures and inlet and outlet chambers, wherein the body is adjacent to the first and third sidewalls and a filter media disposed within the first sidewall. Operationally, a dirty fluid enters therethrough the inlet aperture to the inlet chamber into the outer annulus, to the first interior, and through the dome and communicates onward therethrough the filter media and outward to the outlet chamber and to the outlet aperture.

A filter assembly, has: a housing defining an internal volume and an outlet fluidly connectable to an oil system; a filter cartridge removably received within the internal volume of the housing; and an inlet conduit defining an inlet fluidly connectable to the oil system, the inlet conduit being in fluid flow communication with the internal volume of the housing, the inlet conduit having: a wall circumscribing a main flow passage from the inlet to the internal volume, and a sedimentation pocket defined by the wall, the sedimentation pocket extending downwardly away from the main flow passage and in a direction having a component parallel to a direction of a gravity when the filter assembly is in use.

The present invention provides a filter for separating particles and/or catalyzer for particle reaction in a fluid. The device comprising array of passageways fabricated on a die wherein the passageway size is controlled by actuators. The passageway size is monitored and the actuators controlling the passageway size are activated conditionally upon the passageway size monitoring. Using movable actuators the passageway can achieve passageway size that is less then the fabrication minimal resolution. Proper locating, setting and/or activation of the actuators create passageways that can perform filtration of particles, trapping of particles and catalyzing particles reaction.

Embodiments included herein are directed towards a method and a system for dewatering solids. Embodiments of the present disclosure may include providing a funnel system including multiple funnel injection nozzles and at least one macerator. Embodiments may also include introducing a first material stream and a second material stream into the funnel system. Embodiments may also include combining the first material stream and the second material stream in the funnel system, resulting in a third material stream. Embodiments may also include transporting the third material stream to a filter container from the funnel system and separating solids from liquids contained in the third material stream in the filter container. Embodiments may also include removing the third material stream from the filter container by removing separated liquids from the filter container via a fourth material stream by using a hose system powered by a sludge pump.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method used to isolate organic acid forms of cannabinoids from a source biomass. This includes the use of a continuous, flow driven, biomass agitation unit, referred to herein as the Continuous Trichome Separator (CTS) Unit. Biomass is fed into the CTS Unit, where trichomes are shaken off of the biomass, and a mixture of trichomes and fluid continue for further processing. The trichomes are melted and then separated using chromatographic separation techniques. Thereafter the organic acids are dehydrated and become isolate compounds.
