A system for removing sediment from water is disclosed. The exemplary embodiments described herein disclose a system with a chamber having a deck positioned inside to divide it into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The deck may have a plurality of holes to hold filtration elements and also may have a ridge or a skirt or both. The filtration elements may be filter cartridges with multiple elongated filter elements that extend down into the lower chamber.

A method for filtering solids from a slurry includes placing a filter assembly into a filtration tank containing the slurry. The filter assembly includes a plurality of filter cells each having a filter medium at an exterior and a cavity at an interior. The solids are filtered by moving the slurry through the filter mediums into the interiors of the filter cells to form a filter cake at the exteriors of the filter cells. The filter assembly is moved while applying a vacuum to the interiors of the filter cells through a vacuum transfer system including a mobile part and a stationary part. The mobile part moves along with the filter assembly and is sealed with respect to the stationary part.

A filter support element for a candle filter is provided. Methods of making and using the filter support element are provided.

An attaching system for a filter cartridge may include: a top cap configured to attach to a filter cartridge; a mating projection located on the top cap; at least one locking projection projecting radially away from the mating projection; and a base portion defining an annularly shaped flat surface surrounding the mating projection on a first side and configured to attach to the filter cartridge on a second side. A method of attaching a filter cartridge to a filter assembly may include: providing locking projections on a top cap of a filter cartridge; locating a spring around a mating projection of the top cap; forming annular groove between the spring and the locking projections; and configuring the top cap to a portion of the filter cartridge.

Device for filtering rolling oil, including: a tank having an inlet for the oil to be filtered, as well as a lid having at least one plate element, or a plurality of plate elements, removably stacked in the internal volume of the tank, able to be removed from the tank via the upper opening of the lid, each of the plate elements removably receiving filtration cartridges, each of the hollow plate elements constituting a collector for oil filtered by the cartridges of said plate element, each of the plate elements comprising a filtered oil outlet removably connected to a corresponding outlet of the tank via a connector. According to the invention, there are between one and three plate elements, the total number of filtration cartridges of the device is between 500 and 3000 cartridges, and is suitable to allow a nominal filtration flow of between 1000 L/min and 4000 L/min.

The present application provides a fuel-water separation filter element and a fuel filter. The filter element includes a fuel duct, a water blocking tube, and a filter medium. An upper cover plate is connected to one end of the fuel duct. The upper cover plate is formed with an air collection cavity in the fuel duct. The water blocking tube is provided with a water blocking portion positioned in the fuel duct, and a vent pin axially extends from an end surface of one end of the water blocking portion. The vent pin respectively communicates with the air collection cavity and the outside. During operation of the filter element in the present application, gas mixed into a fuel supply system may be effectively exhausted.

A removable and replaceable end cap that selectively lockingly engages a seat ring of a filter housing. The end cap may include a flange that compresses a gasket member between the end cap and the seat ring to form a fluid tight seal therebetween. The end cap may include cam locking grooves that may each receive insertion of a protrusion of the seat ring, and which are structured for at least rotational displacement about the received protrusion as the end cap is rotated between locked and unlocked positions relative to the seat ring. The end cap may also include an opening that accommodates the passage of a fluid to a filter element. The filter element, which may be coupled to the end cap, may be adapted to remove particulate or contaminate from the received fluid.

A pre-coating filter device includes: a filtration tank comprising a raw water inlet through which raw water flows on one side, and a drain port at the bottom; a top cover coupled to the upper part of the filtration tank and comprising a coupling hole through the middle part; a purified water discharge pipe coupled to the coupling hole of the top cover; a purified water storage space unit coupled to the lower part of the top cover and located within the filtration tank, and comprising a communication pipe connected to the central part; a filter coupling plate body coupled to the lower part of the purified water storage space unit and comprising a plurality of coupling holes through; and a pre-coating filter coupled to the coupling hole of the filter coupling plate body.

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.

A regenerative filter that includes a filter housing having inlet and outlet zones; a fluid path provided between the inlet and outlet zones; a plurality of filter elements each having an outer surface filter media applied thereto and functioning to filter particulate or contaminants from the fluid path; and a tube sheet that is supported across the filter housing, that is disposed just before the outlet zone and that provides the support for the plurality of filter elements. The plurality of filter elements are disposed in an array and includes bridging members or elements that connect between adjacent filter elements, and that forms with the filter elements, a closed interstitial space between adjacent filter elements for liquid flow; a nanoscale barrier on interior surfaces, including that of the regenerative media itself, providing a mechanism to disrupt the cell wall of microscopic viruses and organisms.
