  • Systems and adsorption filters for filtering particulate matter from fluid streams
    Patent number: 12685948
    Abstract: An adsorption filter for removing particulate matter from a fluid includes an outer housing including an upper end, a lower end, and an inner cavity. In addition, the adsorption filter includes a filter assembly disposed in the inner cavity of the outer housing. The filter assembly includes a supply conduit having an inlet end, an outlet end disposed in the inner cavity, and a linear section extending vertically from the outlet end. The supply conduit is configured to flow the fluid into the inner cavity. Further, the filter assembly includes a first pair of filter discs mounted to the linear section of the supply conduit. The first pair of filter discs includes an upper filter disc and a lower filter disc positioned below the upper filter disc. Each filter disc includes a base and a plurality of parallel flow diverters extending from the base. Each base and each flow diverter slidingly engages an inner surface of the outer housing. Each base includes a flow orifice extending vertically therethrough.
