Patent number: 11331603Abstract: An intake screen assembly including an intake member, a screen support member, and a screen member coupled to the screen support member. The screen member may be formed from a material, such as copper-nickel, that is different from a material, such as stainless steel, used to form the intake member and/or the screen support member. The intake screen assembly may include corrosion protection members for preventing contact between the components of the screen assembly that are formed from dissimilar materials. The assembly may be formed by coupling the screen support member to the intake member, and coupling the screen member to the screen support member.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Aqseptence Group, Inc.Inventors: Richard Charles Maxson, Gerald Allan Berry, Garth Hayes Saul, Michael Richard Ekholm, Timothy Charles Wolf

Patent number: 11058973Abstract: An underdrain assembly for filtering particulates from a fluid having an upper structure connected to a bottom plate. At least one flow control vane is positioned between the upper structure and the bottom plate for directing and managing fluid flow through the assembly. The upper structure can have first and second filtration members, the second filtration member positioned between the first filtration member and the bottom plate. The second filtration member can have a shape that restricts fluid flow within the underdrain. The underdrain can have air and water inlets. The water inlet can have an end with a plate covering an upper portion thereof. The end can also include an opening having an angular cut forming an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the water inlet. Thus arranged, air is prevented from migrating out the water line. A resilient mounting arrangement for the underdrain is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Aqseptence Group, Inc.Inventors: Michael Richard Ekholm, Richard Charles Maxson, Mark Edgar Watson, Fabrice Jean Alphonse Courageot
