Abstract: Provided is a filtration system including a filter housing having an inlet port and an outlet port. A plurality of filtration units are disposed within the filter housing. The system can further include at least one cleaning system configured for cleaning at least one filtration unit of the plurality of filtration units and at least one drive unit. The at least one drive unit can be configured for displacing one or both of said at least one filtration unit of the filtration units and the at least one cleaning system with respect to the other of said at least one filtration unit of the filtration units and said at least one cleaning system.

Abstract: Provided is a coupler including two or more shell segments, each pivotally coupled at a pivot end to a rigid link, and being securable to one another at a locking end thereof by a locking mechanism, each shell segment is configured with a complimentary tubular element seat and at least a pair of substantially parallel radial tubular element engagement formations, and an annular gasket seat, where the two or more shell segments are pivotable between a closed position in which they complete a substantially closed shape, and an open position where at least one of the two or more shell segments is pivotally displaced with respect to the link and apart from one another.

Abstract: A filtration system comprising a tank-like housing, accommodating a filtration assembly secured within the housing and extending between a respective raw fluid inlet port and a filtered fluid outlet port. The filtration assembly comprises one or more filter units secured over a main pipe disposed within the housing and configured between a fixed, operative position, and a manipulating position. The housing is configured with at least one re-sealable opening on a side wall thereof, through which the filter units are serviced at the manipulating position.
