Title:
MOLECULAR SEPARATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005074508
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for separating particles and dissolved matter from a fluid stream. It includes a 1st pressure source (110) which transports untreated fluid into a separator annulus (122) with a filter element (121) therein where it is placed under pressure sufficient to produce turbulent flow so that cavitation or kinetics allows fluid to penetrate through the filter element (121). The filtered fluid is then transported to a collection tank (120). The contaminants retained by the filter element (121) are then removed by reverse pressurization from a second pressure source (130) and are then transported to a waste collection tank (103) and/or a concentrator (140) for further treatment.
