Regenerative media filtration

A method of cleaning as regenerative filter having a filter housing with inlet and outlet zones, a fluid path provided between the inlet and outlet zones, and a plurality of filter elements each having an outer surface filter media applied thereto and functioning to filter particulate or contaminants from the fluid path, wherein the regenerative filter also includes a tube sheet that is supported across the filter housing, that is disposed just before the outlet zone and that provides a support for the plurality of filter elements, said method comprising

• draining all fluids from the filter housing;
• refilling the filter housing with fluid to an optimum level;
• and
• initiation cleaning sequence of the filter housing with the fluid at the optimum level;
• and wherein the cleaning sequence comprises:
• agitating the tube sheet;
• initiating a pump to effectively air scour for a first predetermined amount of time;
• dwelling for a second predetermined amount of time;
• and
• repeating the agitating, initiating, and dwelling until a third predetermined amount of time is complete.
