20100140191 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATION OF SOLIDS AND LIQUID SUSPENSIONS BY FILTER UNCLOGGING AIDED FILTRATION - Method and apparatus for separation of solid particles in liquid suspension by non-continuous filter unclogging aided filtration. The said method uses vacuum as suspension flowing force, which is applied under a closed circuit. The said separation is based on filtration vessels, using filtration fabrics of known mesh, and uses a reverse direction of suspension flow and air suction through the filters to avoid clogging of the filter fabrics. The separated particles can be recovered and collected from any of the filters for subsequent use or simply discarded. In a particular form of the invention, the said apparatus is used to separate fungus spores from solid medium in suspension. The said apparatus is constituted by a support structure and comprises three interconnected systems: the filtration system, the vacuum system and the control system. The said filtration system comprises column reservoirs ( | 06-10-2010 |
