A particle separation system for a catalytic chemical reactor.

A sanitation device for cleaning a body of water in an immersion pool of a mikvah has a housing, a driving member and a bypass passageway. The housing includes an inlet, an outlet and internal liquid passages that communicate between the inlet and outlet. The driving member is arranged to urge flow of liquid through the internal liquid passages by exerting thrust upon liquid flowing through the driving member, wherein at least part of the liquid flowing through the liquid passages bypasses flowing through the driving member by flowing through the bypass passageway towards the device's outlet.

A filter unit is disclosed that increases solids loading capacity, decreases specific flowrate during filtration, and improves backwash effectiveness. A flow shaping plate and/or flow diverting member are used to reduce flow entrance effects during reverse, backwash flow through the filter unit.

A liquid filter and a liquid filtration apparatus are provided using the liquid filter, which enable uniform filtration over the entire range, without localizing a part where filtration occurs to the upper side above the middle. The liquid filter has a plurality of spacers fixed to a filter body. The filter body has a liquid inflow space, a plurality of diagonal fold parts individually formed outwards from corner parts of the liquid inflow space and having a length in the radial direction around the center of the liquid inflow space, and pocket parts having any one of the diagonal fold parts as one side, and individually having a triangular planar shape, and the spacers are fixed on the inner face of the filter paper, near the diagonal fold parts, and inside of the individual pocket parts.

Filters comprising a filter arm comprising a plurality of hollow elements in fluid communication with each other, the hollow elements having porous walls, the filter arm having a first and a second end; a hollow transition element comprising a collector having a side wall, a central cavity, an upper closed end and a lower open end; and a hollow transition element arm having a first and a second transition arm end, and a porous side wall; wherein the first transition arm end is in fluid communication with the second end of the filter arm; and the second transition arm is connected to the side wall of the collector, and is in fluid communication with the central cavity of the collector; and, a hollow base having a side wall, and a base outlet port, wherein the hollow base connected to, and in fluid communication with, the collector; filter devices including the filters, and methods of filtration using the filters, are disclosed.

A rechargeable spin-on filter includes a cover, a housing threadably joined with the housing, and a filter element that can be removed and replaced with another filter element relative thereto. The cover and/or housing can be plastic. The cover can include a bottom plate having inlet ports and an outlet port. The filter element can include an end cap defining a perimeter about an inner dimension, such as an inner diameter. The cap can define a groove to receive a rib of a support tube over which the element is installed. Alignment of the rib and groove can index and register the element with the support tube. A related method is provided.

A filter press includes a frame, a hydraulic system for compressing and releasing filter plates, the filter plates, a filter chamber, a feed pump, a high-pressure clean water pump, a control system, a rotating plate, a cake removal knife, a squeeze disc, a squeeze disc sleeve, a drive shaft, a brake, a left pull rod, a right pull rod, a pull rod disc, a connector and clutches. The filter cake in the entire filter press can be removed without opening the filter plates in sequence. The filter cake washing is carried out in an enclosed room in a normal direction and a reverse direction, which can not only maintain the dryness and cleanness of the working environment, but also can effectively collect, process treat and recycle the washing water, thus achieving the zero discharge of waste water to meet the environmental requirements at a low cost.

A filter device is provided with a filter element for filtering a fluid. The filter element has a filter medium body with an end plate arranged at an end face of the filter medium body in relation to a longitudinal axis of the filter medium body. A filter base housing receives the filter element. An assembly component for assembly and disassembly of the filter element in the filter base housing is connectable to the end plate and to the filter base housing by rotation about the longitudinal axis. The assembly component has interlocking elements. An interlocking counter element is arranged at the end plate. The interlocking elements can be brought into axial interlocking connection with the interlocking counter element, while enabling a free rotatability in rotational direction about the longitudinal axis. The interlocking counter element is a circumferential interlocking collar with insertion ramps for insertion of the interlocking elements.

A spin-on filter assembly with replaceable coreless element comprises: a reusable spin-on housing including a filter bowl having sealing structure on a bottom of the filter bowl and a sealing structure on a top of the filter bowl; a center support tube integral with the filter bowl and including a perforated tube and an upper portion having an threaded coupling allowing for the filter assembly to threaded into position and an exterior sealing structure; and a replaceable coreless filter element mounted on the central support tube within the filter bowl and having filter media, a lower sealing structure configured to engage with the sealing structure on the bottom of the filter bowl and an upper sealing structure configured to engage with the exterior sealing structure on the center support tube.

A flocculation system is provided including a vessel having an open top. The flocculation system also includes a sidewall comprised of a water-impermeable material. The flocculation system further includes a first bottom comprising the water-impermeable material. The flocculation system further includes a second bottom having a floc filter that passes flocs and prevents the passage of a cleaning tool. The flocculation system further includes a floc trap below the second bottom. The floc trap includes a space defined by the sidewall, the first bottom, and the floc filter. In some implementations, the flocculation system includes a flocculant disposed on the sidewall, the floc filter, or the first bottom.
