Abstract
A filtering device for removing contaminants from fluids, comprising a container having an interior chamber with a volume, at least one inlet, at least one outlet and at least one substantially non-granular material adhering outlet filter and at least one type of granular material occupying about 20 percent to about 67 percent of the volume of the container, the granular materials being agitated by the fluid entering the chamber through the inlet and exiting the chamber through the outlet with the outlet filter preventing the granular media from escaping the container, whereby the contaminants being removed from the fluid by the fluid agitating the granular materials and the contaminants are kept within the outlet screen.
Claims37
A filtration device operating in the range of about 20 to about 100 psi for removing contaminants from fluids, comprising:
- a) a container having an interior chamber with a volume, an interior wall, at least one inlet, at least one outlet and at least one screen;
- b) a dynamic granular bouncing, non-clumping, non-sticking, non-interlocking, non-clinging material occupying about 20% to about 67% of said volume of said container;
- c) said at least one outlet screen causing said dynamic granular bouncing, non-clumping, non-sticking, non-interlocking, non-clinging material to stay in an agitated condition without clogging said at least one outlet screen;
- d) said dynamic granular material having a mesh size of from about 80 to about 120;
- e) said at least one inlet having an inlet end extending into said container;
- f) said inlet and said inlet end having an ID of not less than about 1/8" and up to about 3/4";
- g) said container have an ID of between about 2" to about 12";
- h) a diffusing agitating means located at said inlet end for arresting axial flow of said fluid from said inlet end and deflecting said fluid laterally of said inlet end toward said interior wall of said container;
- i) said at least one outlet screen having a mesh size of between about 100 to about 150;
- j) another outlet screen adjacent said outlet screen;
- k) said another outlet screen being a spongy material;
- l) whereby when fluid is admitted into said container said contaminants are removed from said fluid by the dynamic agitation of said dynamic granular material.

- i) said at least one outlet screen having a mesh size of between about 100 to about 150;
- j) said diffusion agitating means located at said inlet end being a nozzle;
- k) said nozzle including downwardly angularly directed orifices;
- l) whereby when fluid is admitted into said container, said contaminants are removed from said fluid by the dynamic agitation of said dynamic granular material.
