Abstract:
A pressure and heat molded polymer tube, formed of miniscule polyethylene beads, each in the vicinity of 115 um powder in diameter, which when compression molded forms pores that are of uniform diameter throughout their length within the range of 5 um-10 um, the tube having an upper flange, that mates within a correspondently shaped grommet, which when applied to the transverse plate of an air filtration housing, functions to cleanse highly efficiently the dust particles and debris from the air being filtered, when passing through the filtration system, so that such purified air can be discharged safely.
Abstract:
A filter and filter media configured and arranged for placement in a fuel stream is disclosed. The filter and filter media allow for filtering of liquid fuels, such as diesel fuel. In certain embodiments the filter media includes a media fiber (such as glass) and a binder fiber (such as bicomponent) that combine to create a media structure having low solidity and relatively low compressibility, and which contain a pore structure that avoids premature fouling of the filter by fuel degradation products.
Abstract:
A pervious concrete slab is pre-cast in a reusable mold or form to define at least one keyway configured and arranged to engage with a complementary keyway of another similar pre-cast pervious concrete slab. The concrete slab is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to an installation site, and installed.

Abstract:
A pulper for pulping a fiber suspension includes a vessel, an extraction plate assembly and a rotor. The extraction plate assembly is disposed within the vessel and includes a metal plate with a plurality of holes extending therethrough. A plurality of metal inserts are respectively disposed within the holes and project from the plate. Each insert is removably attached to the plate. A rotor is disposed within the vessel adjacent to the extraction plate assembly. The inserts are removably attached to the plate by brazing the inserts within the holes, or slightly shrinking the inserts using liquid nitrogen and placing the inserts in the holes.
Abstract:
A filter device for separating solid material from a liquid includes a filter housing with vertically extending removable sidewalls wherein at the location of the removable sidewalls connections are provided to receive two vertically extending sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship whereby a fluid impermeable sidewall may be inserted into the circumferential section of the housing when the liquid permeable section is removed for cleaning without interfering with the continual operation of the filter device. Moreover, the filter device of the present invention may be a first filter or pre-filter in a multi-stage filter system wherein a second filtering device is received within the first filter, the second filtering device includes a plurality of first tubular filters having an open bottom end and a closed top end and a second tubular filter centrally disposed of the first tubular filters in flow communication therewith. The second tubular filter has a closed bottom end and an outlet top end in flow communication with a discharge from the filter system.
Abstract:
A device filters impurities such as iron oxides contained in a water supply. The device includes a container having an open top end, a filter assembly housed in the container and a lid member closed over the open top end of the container. The container is partitioned into an intake chamber, a discharge chamber and an overflow passage. The lid member includes an adjusting member in contact with the filter assembly to adjust and maintain the filter assembly at a correct position within the container. The filter assembly also includes a handle member to enable a user to remove and reinsert the filter assembly from and into the container, respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filter unit suitable for filtering microfibres within a feed, especially a feed originating from a textile treatment apparatus. The present invention also relates to a textile treatment apparatus comprising said filter unit and a method of filtering utilising said filter unit.
Abstract:
A product including a bottle with a mouth; a drink inside the bottle, the drink including a version of an alcoholic drink, where there is no alcohol or there is alcohol at a concentration by volume less than 1.5%; a pourer attached to the mouth and having a flow channel, a check valve, an air-vent channel and a filter, where the flow channel and the check valve allow via the same a flow of the non-alcoholic drink towards outside the product, the air-vent channel allows air to pass inside the bottle, and the filter produces a filtration of the air passing inside the bottle via the air-vent channel, the drink being any of a non-alcoholic drink, an alcohol substitute drink, a low alcohol drink, an alcohol free drink, or a de-alcoholized drink. Also, a method for extending the lifetime of a non-alcoholic drink, related to making the drink.
Abstract:
Screen designs and screens for a mechanical separation device are disclosed for separating solids from liquids in a process stream. A screen may have a plurality of openings, which are conical shaped, having a diameter of about 1.0 mm to about 1.4 mm in size that are formed on a stainless steel sheet.
