A filter assembly includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet. The filter assembly also includes a tubular filter element located downstream of the inlet and upstream of the outlet and a sleeve element surrounding and blocking at least a portion of the filter element.

The invention involves a scale collection device that is located within downflow reactor head for removing solids from feed streams to increase reactor operating cycle time without impact on effective reactor space for catalyst loading. More particularly, a filtering zone is located in an upper portion of a reactor vessel above a rough liquid distribution tray and a distribution tray.

The invention relates to a filter apparatus (10) comprising a plurality of filter elements (20) which can be received in a filter housing (12) having a filter inlet (50) for a fluid to be filtered and a filter outlet (52) for the filtered fluid, characterised in that a pressure control device (42) has at least one control plate (58) which, located inside a connection chamber (14), laterally passes over individual upper element openings (54) of the filter element to be backwashed (20), in a predefinable sequence, covering the opening to an increasing degree and then exposing the opening again, and in that a discharge opening (46) of the backwash device (44) is, at least in part, fluidically connected to a lower element opening (56) of the filter element (20) to be backwashed, as the pressure control device (42) moves towards the upper element opening (54).

The present disclosure relates to a rotating type foreign substance collection equipment, and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is an effect in separating and collecting foreign substances such as oil from foreign substance-fluid mixtures at high speeds by the separation membrane that traps foreign substances such as oil that float in water while allowing sea water or river water to pass through and be discharged.

A method of separating solids from a slurry or suspension is disclosed. The method includes: providing a slurry or suspension containing solids and liquid to an input port of a first side of a filter, the filter providing a filtering size between 2 microns and 70 microns; providing a liquid discharge port on a second side of the filter which receives the liquid that passes through the filter; and separating the solids from the liquid by pressing the solids into a pressure regulating solids discharge port on the first side of the filter, thereby compacting solids on the first side of the filter, forcing at least some of the liquid of the slurry or suspension through the first side of the filter to the second side of the filter causing pressure regulated solids to be discharged through a pressure regulating solids discharge port into a pressurized chamber.
