  • Cylindrical inline fluids filter
    Patent number: 8282825
    Abstract: A fluids filter is presented that is cylindrical in shape and can be adapted to fit inline with any pipe system. The filter is comprised of an outer solid cylinder and an inner cylinder possessing multiple filter means, including a replaceable fine mesh or material filter. An absorbent boom can be placed in the filter system to absorb hydrocarbons or other materials. The inner tube possesses an emergency bypass in case of flows through the pipe system exceeding rated levels.
