An apparatus (2) and a method for pretreatment of organic waste from the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste and/or from food industries, upstream of an anaerobic digester. The apparatus comprises:—a squeezing-diluting-unpacking module (4) configured to receive an input waste stream (3) of packaged waste and a dilution fluid (10), to lacerate the packaging, and to output a coarser non-digestible stream (23) and a comparatively dirty and comparatively liquid slurry (26),—at least one settling module (30, 30a) configured to allow inerts in the comparatively dirty and comparatively liquid slurry (26) to sediment and to output a finer inerts stream (40) and a comparatively refined slurry (42),—a thickening/dewatering module (60) configured to separate and output a liquid stream (69) and a comparatively dewatered slurry (72).

Aircraft fuel ice capturing filter device housings, aircraft fuel ice capturing filter devices, and methods of use are provided.

A Filter for the removal of water from oil, the filter includes a distillation element having an inlet pipe that in one end is to be fluidly connectable to a reservoir of oil to be filtered, and in the other end being fluidly connected to a distillation head, said distillation head including a plurality of compressing tubes for injecting under pressure said oil into an evaporation chamber, whereby eventual water within the oil droplet evaporates from said decompressed oil, the filter further including a tubular core with a plurality of apertures and a hollow interior, said core having an open end for fluid communication with the hollow interior, a length of yarn wound around an outer surface of the core, wherein the filter further includes a device for blowing air or an inert gas into the evaporation chamber for removal of the water vapor during use of the filter. A method of manufacturing such a filter, as well as a method of removing water of is also disclosed. The water removal unit is part of a modular system, which makes the whole filter unit scalable within fixed steps. When water removing block with attached start block and end block, are stacked upon each other, and connected to filter unit, it becomes scalable complete cleaning equipment. Pump and motor must be adapted to each configuration.

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.

A filter device (10) includes a filter element (12) in a filter housing (14) with fluid connection points (16, 18) for the non-filtrate and filtrate. Fluid can be passed through the filter element in both directions for filtrating the non-filtrate or for backwashing for cleaning particle contaminations (72). A pressure control (36) generates a post-suctioning effect to improve the cleaning of the particle contaminations (72). The filter device (10) is designed as a one filter-element solution. In a predetermined exchange, the single filter element (12) for filtering can be used for backwashing or can be backwashed using the pressure control device (36). A hydraulic system (64) and a method for backwashing a filter element (12) of a filter device (10) is provided.

The present disclosure relates to a filter, which comprises a housing, a protective bushing, a magnetic bar and a filter screen. The protective bushing, the magnetic bar and the filter screen are disposed in the housing. The protective bushing comprises a cavity and a channel. The channel is disposed along the axial direction of the cavity. The advantageous effects of the filter according to the present disclosure lies in that: the magnetic bar inside the filter can adsorb metal impurities in the water in the channel; and the channel is in S shape which can increase the length of the flow path of the water so that the metal impurities in the water can be guaranteed to be sufficiently adsorbed by the magnetic bar; and the filter screen can filter out non-metal impurities in the water. An exhaust valve provided at the top of the protective bushing can keep the balance between the air pressure inside the filter and the air pressure outside the filter, which can ensure that the water can flow out and in smoothly. The filter is attached with an operating handle. If the user wants to disassemble the filter to clear up the metal impurities and non-metal impurities in the filter, he can disassemble the filter by means of the operating handle without the need of professional operator, which is convenient and simple.

A filter device with a spirally flushing function with a head having a filter flask main body and a water inlet hole connected with a water inlet passage, a water outlet hole connected with a water outlet passage, and a flushing hole connected with a flushing passage. A filter element casing arranged outside the filter element, and has a plurality of filter element casing water inlets. A flow divider arranged outside the filter element casing and covering a portion of an upper end of the filter element casing. A filter element end cap fixed to the top of the filter element and having a water outlet, which penetrates through the flow divider and is connected with the water outlet passage. Effectively improved flushing effect, and greatly prolonged service life of the filter element is experienced.

A filtering unit is provided which may include a filter cap, a filter basin, a filter or membrane within the filter basin and an enclosed fluid intake channel, which may dispense fluid into the filter basin. The enclosed fluid intake channel may be coupled to the inlet port of the filtering unit and may slope in a downward manner to the bottom of the filter basin. The intake channel may have an open end at the bottom of the filter basin. The open end may be substantially parallel with the filter basin bottom and may dispense fluid into the filter basin. The fluid may flow from the intake channel and into the filter basin in a laminar manner. The fluid may fill the filter basin and flow from the filtering unit through an outlet port of the filtering unit.
