Abstract:
A subsea system is configured to inject seawater into a subterranean formation. The system includes a sub-micron filtration module and a plurality of pumps and a plurality of other filtering devices arranged in series.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a filter device. The filter device includes a filter housing including an inflow port through which water flows in and an outflow port through which the water flowed in through the inflow port flows out, a plurality of filter members installed in the filter housing, an inflow unit installed in the filter housing and provided in each of both sides of each of the plurality of filter members for the water flowed in from the inflow port to be supplied to a plurality of openings respectively provided in the both sides of each of the plurality of filter members, and a backwashing unit coupled to both sides of at least one of the plurality of filter members for foreign substances filtered out by the plurality of filter members to be backwashed from the plurality of filter members. The plurality of filter members each has a hollow form to filter the water flowed in from the inflow port.
Abstract:
A system and method for filtering a fluid includes a manifold and a filter releasably connected to the manifold that includes a memory storage device. A filter valve in fluid communication with the manifold has an open position that allows the fluid to flow through the filter and a shut position that prevents the fluid from flowing through the filter valve. A sensor in fluid communication with the manifold generates a fluid parameter signal reflective of a characteristic of the fluid flowing through the manifold. A controller receives the fluid parameter signal and positions the filter valve to the shut position when the fluid parameter signal meets a predetermined fluid condition.
Abstract:
A filtration device comprising a media basket, a baseplate, and a canister. The media basket is affixed to the baseplate. The canister has a cavity therein and is detachably coupled with the baseplate to enclose the media basket. The media basket contains a porous filtration material that efficiently removes contaminants from liquid. The device is configured to establish a first siphon to convey liquid from outside the device into the canister cavity through a canister pipe when a liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the weir in the canister pipe and configured to establish a second siphon to convey liquid from canister cavity through the top of a center riser pipe and out an outlet pipe when the first siphon has been established and the liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the center riser pipe.

Abstract:
A filter insert for filtering a fluid, comprising: an elongate closed-ended tube including a circumferential sealing rim; and a conduit for conveying fluid, one end of the conduit forming an inlet opening, the other end of the conduit being suitable for dispersing fluid into a filter medium located within the tube.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for washing a filter (F) having at least two layers of filtering media (4, 5) for raw water containing components having a tendency to form cakes (M), in particular for seawater, the layers of filtering media being supported by a base (6) comprising pass-through openings and provided with nozzles (6a) enabling air and/or wash water to be injected, the raw water flowing through the layers from top to bottom and the treated water being recovered at the lower portion of the filter, and which comprises at least one spillway (D) at the upper portion thereof for collecting the wash water. The method includes the following series of steps: a) the raw water intake (2) is closed, followed by the filtration outlet valve (13), the filter is depressurized, and the filter cake is broken; b) the water level in the filter is lowered; c) only pressurized air is blown into the lower portion of the filter, said air passing through the layers of the filter from bottom to top and causing the cakes to be reduced to particles, in particular by means of friction; d) rinsing is carried out from bottom to top using only water, the water rinsing time being sufficiently short to ensure that the water level stops below the level of the upper edge of the wash water collection spillway; e) the filter water is emptied once again by discharging same from the lower portion of the filter; f) steps c), d) and e) are repeated at least once, and a final rinsing is carried out by injecting a quantity of backwashing water through the bottom portion of the filter, which is then discharged from the upper portion of the filter via a pipe (14).
Abstract:
A debris clearing system for clearing debris from a drain strainer includes a base member having at least one attachment coupler configured to removably attach the base member to the drain strainer, a support frame rotatably coupled to the base member, at least one arm assembly coupled to the support frame, a clearing member coupled to a distal end of the at least one arm assembly. The clearing member being adjacent the exterior surface of the drain strainer when the base member is coupled to the drain strainer. The system includes a drive unit coupled to the support frame to rotate the support frame and the at least one arm assembly relative to the base member. The clearing member clears debris from the exterior surface of the drain strainer when the drive unit rotates the support frame and the at least one arm assembly.
Abstract:
A CO2 concentration device has an adsorbent body formed from sheet material. Solid adsorbent particles are adhered onto at least a single surface of the sheet material and then the sheet material is wound onto itself or laminated in layers. The adsorbent body is divided into at least into a processing zone and a regeneration zone. CO2 is adsorbed in the processing zone when the processing zone is wet with water and a CO2 containing gas is passed through. The regeneration zone desorbs CO2 when saturated steam is passed through. Condensation heat from the steam condensing causes CO2 desorption. The solid adsorbent particles may be aligned in a linear or a staggered arrangement when the solid adsorbent particles are adhered to the sheet material to follow a gas flow and form gas introduction paths between adjacent layers of the sheet material.
