System and method for a filter system

A filter, comprising:

• a housing having an inlet to receive a fluid, and an outlet to discharge filtrate;
• a filter media positioned in an inner chamber of the housing, the filter media having a plurality of wire rings longitudinally distributed apart from one another within the inner chamber to form a plurality of spaces therebetween;
• a plurality of pores defined by the plurality of spaces between the plurality of wire rings;
• an actuator coupled to the filter media to move a portion of the filter media to change a dimension of the plurality of pores by increasing or decreasing a size of each of the plurality of spaces;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator, the controller configured to control the actuator to move the portion of the filter media.

A variable pore size filter comprising:

• an upper plate;
• a retainer;
• a support profile disposed between the upper plate and the retainer;
• a plurality of wire rings disposed on the support profile and longitudinally distributed between the upper plate and the retainer to form a plurality of pores therebetween;
• a plurality of magnets coupled to the plurality of wire rings;
• at least one sensor configured to generate a signal;
• an actuator coupled to the upper plate;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator and the at least one sensor, the controller configured to control the actuator based on the signal from the at least one sensor to increase or decrease a respective size of each of the plurality of pores.
