Abstract
A method for forming a filter for passing contaminated water using a device and one or more media. The device comprises of one or more elements that are capable of undergoing degradation. The increased area available for flow is obtained by adding a first media to predetermined areas of the device and allowing the elements to undergo degradation to bring about an increase in the area available for passing the contaminated water.
Claims19
A method for forming a filter for passing contaminated water, said method comprising:
- providing a device which comprises of one or more elements that are capable of undergoing degradation, adding a first media to predetermined areas of said device, and allowing said one or more elements to undergo degradation to bring about an increase in area available to pass said contaminated water.
A method for forming a filter for passing contaminated water, said method comprising:
- providing a device which comprises of one or more elements that are made wholly or partly of degradable material, said degradable material selected so that said one or more elements are capable of degrading within a desired time period that is based on environmental chamber tests, adding a first media to first predetermined areas of said device, and allowing said one or more elements to degrade into a second media to bring about an increase in area available to pass said contaminated water.
A method for forming a filter for passing contaminated water, said method comprising:
- providing a device which comprises of one or more elements that are made wholly or partly of hydrolytically degradable material and are of predetermined size and shape, said degradable material selected so that said one or more elements are capable of degrading following addition of water, adding a first media to predetermined areas of said device, and allowing said one or more elements to degrade into a second media to bring about an increase in area available to pass said contaminated water.
