Patent number: 11008241Abstract: A filter assembly separating organic waste from water includes a first annular filter element defining an axis. The first annular filter element is defined by a first annular coil of flat wire and an optional second filter element is defined by a second annular coil of flat wire, being generally helical in the axial direction. A cylindrically or frustoconical filter membrane is concentrically disposed between the first and second annular filter element. The filter membrane is porous having aperture size of less than a nano-particulate size of the organic waste, but greater than a nano-particulate size of the water molecule. The second annular filter includes adjustable porosity for selectively preventing particles from reaching the filter membrane and selectively cleaning the membrane by reversed flow of water through the membrane. The assembly generates radial and distal flows and differential pressure forces, for use in high throughput industrial, agricultural and municipal facilities.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Inventor: E.
