Abstract:
A filter element structure 100 attached to a backwash type filter W and filtering fluid flowing within the filter includes a pair of one and the other filter elements 10, and a connection pipe 13 connecting the one filter element 10 and the other filter element 10. Each of the filter elements 10 includes a filter medium 11 formed into a hollow cylindrical shape having open ends on both sides, an upper cover 12 covering the upper end of the filter medium 11, and an upper hole 12a penetrating the upper cover 12. One end of the connection pipe 13 is connected with the one upper hole 12a, while the other end of the connection pipe 13 is connected with the other upper hole 12a.
Abstract:
A device for filtering ballast water which performs filtering by installing a filter element having a conical shape in a concentric circle direction inside the device for filtering ballast water that accommodates a filter portion, and introducing ballast water from a lower end of the device for filtering and passing same through the filter element inside the device for filtering, and for discharging backwash water containing foreign substances that are inside a filter by ways of differential pressure, which is created by a driving portion communicating with a filter element by rotating an aspiration portion that is located on the lower end of the device for filtering. In particular, the present invention relates to a candle-type device for filtering ballast water, wherein the driving portion is positioned on a lower portion of the housing so that more filter elements can be accommodated inside the housing.
Abstract:
A strainer assembly for use with an indirect waste receptor comprising an internally threaded, expandable gasket member sized to be insertable into the indirect waste receptor discharge tube operatively connected to a building drain system drain pipe; a rigid support structure forming an externally threaded wall to operatively mate with the gasket member in a manner to expand the gasket member body into sealing contact with the discharge tube or drain pipe and having a spoke member extending across a rigid support structure passageway with a vertical opening in its center section; a strainer having a screw opening alignable with the spoke member center section opening; and a screw seatable in the screw opening and having a length to operative attach to the center section opening for affixing the strainer to the rigid support structure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (10) for separating a heterogeneous mixture of matter into at least one retentate and one filtrate, comprising a housing (12) which is subdivided into a chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter having at least one feed (14) and a filtrate chamber (21) having at least one outlet (16), a filter unit (22) which comprises at least one filter element (24), wherein the filter unit (22) is arranged in the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter, and a rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50′) for cleaning the filter unit (22), wherein the rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50′) has at least one rinsing port (46, 47) which is constructed so as to introduce a stream, oriented tangentially to the shell surface (54), of a first washing medium into the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning a filter unit.
Abstract:
Fluid treatment elements substantially inhibit electrical charge imbalances and/or build-ups of electrical charges. A fluid treatment element may comprise a multilayer composite including an electrically conductive fibrous matrix, having an upstream side and a downstream side, disposed on a porous substrate, also having an upstream side and a downstream side, which supports the fibrous matrix. The fibrous matrix may include a combination of conductive and nonconductive fibers. The multilayer composite may also include a drainage layer positioned along one of the upstream side of the fibrous matrix and the downstream side of the porous substrate.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge includes a fuse element (500) that closes an exit door (502) when an inlet-outlet pressure differential rises to a range corresponding to a clogged filter media. The fuse element (500) comprises a plastic poppet (540) that remains staged on a podium (520) during normal operation. An increase in inlet pressure and/or a decrease in outlet pressure pushes the poppet (540) away from the podium (520) and positions it to seal the exit door (502).

Abstract:
A fluid treatment element for treating a fluid flowing through the element comprises a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer electrically connected to the first conductive layer. The element further comprises a nonconductive porous treatment medium between the first and second conductive layers. The first and second conductive layers are positioned to offset electrical imbalances caused by fluid flowing through the nonconductive porous treatment medium.
