Abstract: A gravity filter media fabricated from multiple spiral wound or pleated layers, where different layers are designed for specific contaminant removal process and the layers are combined into a single pack for ease of use. The layers or fiber sheets are chemically treated for contaminant removal, with different layers having different chemical treatments, or the layers are immobilized with particles of various sizes for use as low contact -time adsorbents, with different layers having different immobilized particles, or the pore structure is varied from one fiber sheet to another - one being a tight pore structure, and the other being a more open pore structure, or any combination thereof. When using immobilized particles, the immobilized particles can be chemically treated for the specific removal of targeted contaminants, and multi-layered for custom designed removal of specific contaminants.

Abstract: A filter for gravity-fed applications, having filter media with a hollow center, the filter being generally prone to a degradation or cessation in fluid flow due to air entrapment or air lock within the filter housing cavity, which develops during filtering. A diffuser element is introduced to pierce the entrapped air bubble, the diffuser element being an elongated structure connected to the filter housing top end cap and extending through the entrapped air bubble to the filter media.

Abstract: La presente invención presenta un sistema de filtración con una válvula de colector integrada. El sistema de filtración emplea únicamente un componente pivotal, el giro del colector. La válvula de colector incluye un diseño de doble abertura para un esquema de alineación de dos dobleces con las líneas de entrada y de salida de la fuente de fluido. La invención está libre de válvula giratoria de múltiples componentes con partes internas, giratorias, o un componente de activación, tales como un mango, para iniciar la válvula giratoria, lo que permite al usuario rotar los componentes de rotación de los mismos. La reducción en componentes móviles en este diseño reduce la probabilidad de falla y aumenta la confiabilidad del sistema de filtración.

Abstract: A receiver for a cassette filter housing having an upper housing surface. The receiver comprises an arrow shaped elongated member having ends. The elongated member may be parallel with an upper surface of the cassette and may include a base portion attached to the upper housing surface the cross-section of which is a substantially planer segment extending to the upper surface. The elongated member includes an upper receiver portion having at least one cavaliered retaining surface. The receiver includes a first reinforcement member extending outward from the base portion adjacent one of the ends of the elongated member and perpendicular to the elongated member, and a second reinforcement member extending outward from the base portion adjacent the opposite end of the elongated member and perpendicular to the elongated member the reinforcement members affixed to the base portion and the upper housing surface.

Abstract: Water filtration media having a charged material affixed directly to binder material used in the fabrication of the filter media. A microbiological interception enhancing agent is added to the binder directly. The media having a charged material and a microbiological interception enhancing agent both affixed directly on a binder material is then combined with core filter media and prepared as a filtration media. A filter is prepared from the treated filter media.

Abstract: A process for making fibrillated fibers includes preparing a fluid suspension of fibers, low shear refining the fibers at a first shear rate to create fibrillated fibers having a reduced CSF, and subsequently higher shear refining the fibers at a second shear rate, higher than the first shear rate, to increase the degree of fibrillation of the fibers. The refining at the first shear rate may be with a rotor at a first maximum shear rate and the refining at the second shear rate may be with a rotor at a second maximum shear rate, higher than the first maximum shear rate. The process may further include pre-treating the fibers by high shear refining with impact to stress the fibers prior to low shear refining.

Abstract: A filter base for releasably connecting to a complementary mating filter housing assembly comprising a base platform having fluid ingress and egress ports and a floating lock in sliding communication with said base platform having a bottom surface, a top surface, and longitudinal and lateral sides. The floating lock includes spaced protrusions, drive keys, or fingers on said longitudinal sides extending laterally inwards, including at least one shaped protrusion, finger, or drive key for slidably contacting said complementary mating filter housing assembly. The at least one shaped protrusion, finger, or drive key includes an angled face exposed towards the bottom surface, and an edge or wedge opposite said angled face for releasably securing said complementary mating filter housing assembly.

Abstract: A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. A push filter design activates a floating key lock upon insertion and extraction, where the filter key may be used simultaneously as a lock and as an identifier for particular filter attributes. The filter base may be situated inline, and in fluid communication, with influent and effluent piping, such as within a refrigerator. The filter housing assembly may be attached to, and removed from, the filter base by a push-actuated release. Upon insertion, the filter key shifts the filter lock longitudinally to receive interlocking segments. Upon extraction, the same axial push shifts the filter lock further to align the interlocking fingers within gaps that allow for easy extraction. The specific key lock design allows a user to identify and match certain filter configurations received by the mechanical support, and reject other filter configurations.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, preferably having an adsorbent prefilter located upstream from the filter medium. Preferably, the prefilter is adapted to remove natural organic matter in an influent prior to the influent contacting the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, thereby preventing loss of charge on the filter medium. The microbiological interception enhanced filter medium is most preferably comprised of fibrillated cellulose fibers, in particular, lyocell fibers. At least a portion of the surface of the at least some of the fibers have formed thereon a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic metal complex. A filter medium of the present invention provides greater than about 4 log viral interception, and greater than about 6 log bacterial interception.
