Abstract
The present disclosure provides devices and methods for filtering a fluid. An example device can include a first end configured to be joined to a first segment of a pipe. The first end can include a first opening for receiving the fluid. The device can also include a second end configured to be joined to a second segment of the pipe. The second end can include a second opening for transmitting the fluid. A filtering segment can be disposed between the first end and the second end. The filtering segment can include a plurality of fiber filters oriented substantially perpendicular to a direction of flow of the fluid in the pipe. A fiber filter of the plurality of fiber filters can include a mycomaterial and a carrier material configured to provide nutrients to the mycomaterial.
Claims14
A system for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a housing comprising a first opening and a second opening, wherein (i) said first opening is configured to receive said fluid and (ii) said second opening is configured to direct at least a portion of said fluid away from said housing;
- a filtering unit disposed within said housing between said first opening and said second opening, wherein said filtering unit is configured to filter said fluid to provide said at least said portion of said fluid, and wherein said filtering unit comprises (i) a plurality of fibers and (ii) a mycomaterial, and
- a carrier configured to provide nutrients to said mycomaterial;
- wherein said plurality of fibers comprises one or more members selected from the group consisting of (i) a plurality of layers of graphene, (ii) a plurality of hemp fibers, and (iii) live or recently harvested plant matter.
