Abstract
The present technology is directed generally to fluid treatment systems. In particular, several embodiments are directed toward filter supports configured to be positioned adjacent a filter belt within a filter belt filtration system. In one embodiment, the filter support can have a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the direction of movement of the filter belt. The filter support can include a plurality of struts spaced apart by a plurality of openings, and at least one of the plurality of struts extends across a portion of the filter support such that a longitudinal axis of the at least one strut is positioned at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the filter support.
Claims24
A device comprising:
- a filter support configured to be positioned adjacent a filter belt within a finer belt filtration system, the filter support having a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the direction of movement of the filter belt, wherein the filter support includes a plurality of struts spaced apart by a plurality of openings, and wherein at least one of the plurality of struts extends across a portion of the support such that a longitudinal axis of the at least one strut is positioned at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the filter support.
A device comprising:
- a support configured to be positioned adjacent a filter belt within a filter belt filtration system, the support having a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the direction of movement of the filter belt, wherein the support includes
- a first member comprising a plurality of first struts spaced apart by a plurality of first openings, wherein at least one of the plurality of struts extends across a portion of the first member at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the support;
- and
- a second member comprising a plurality of second struts spaced apart by a plurality of second openings, wherein at least one of the plurality of second struts extends across a portion of the second member at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the support.
A treatment system, comprising:
- a chamber configured to receive a fluid;
- a cartridge positioned within the chamber, wherein the cartridge includes:
- a set of rollers;
- a filter belt positioned around and between the rollers;
- a filter support positioned adjacent the filter belt such that the filter belt is configured to be disposed between the support and the received fluid, wherein the support includes a plurality of struts spaced apart by a plurality of openings, and wherein at least one of the plurality of struts extends across a portion of the support at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the support.
