Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention include a filter for a waste tank, the filter including a housing with a pair of end fittings; an inner tube positioned within the housing, the inner tube having perforated walls; and a negatively charged resin positioned between the housing and the inner tube. The first end fitting may be configured to attach to the tank's vent line, and the second end fitting may be configured to attach to external venting tubes such that fumes from the waste tank are configured to flow from the waste tank, through the inner tube of the filter, and away from the waste tank.

A filter for a waste tank, the filter comprising:
- a housing with a first and second end fitting;
- an inner tube positioned within the housing, the inner tube having perforated walls;
- a negatively charged resin positioned between walls of the housing and the inner tube;
- and
- wherein the first end fitting is configured to attach to a waste tank vent line and the second end fitting is configured to attach to external venting tubes such that fumes from the waste tank are configured to flow from the waste tank, through the inner tube of the filter, and away from the waste tank.
A waste tank filter adapted to filter positively charged odorous gas from the gasses freely flowing through said filter, comprising:
- a shell with a first end connector at one end and a second end connector located at the opposite end;
- a perforated inner tube connected to said first and second end connector inside said shell;
- and
- a negatively charged resin positioned between walls of said shell and said inner tube,
- wherein said first end connector is configured to attach to the tank's vent line and said second end connector is configured to attach to external venting tubes such that gases from the waste tank are configured to flow from the waste tank, through the inner tube of the filter, and away from the waste tank.
A method of filtering air from a waste with a filter comprising:
- providing a housing with a pair of end fittings configurable to attach one side of said housing to a waste tank vent line;
- directing the air from the waste tank through the first end fitting and then through an inner tube positioned inside said housing, the inner tube having perforated walls;
- exposing said air through said perforated walls to a negatively charged resin positioned between walls of the housing and the inner tube;
- and
- directing said air through said second end fitting and away from the waste tank.
