  • MEMBRANE TABS
    Publication number: 20100072145
    Abstract: A candle filter includes an end portion, elongate interior structure extending from the end portions and defining a space for a fluid, and a membrane fabric for filtering a substance from the fluid as the fluid passes through the membrane fabric and into the space defined by the interior structure. The membrane fabric extends around the interior structure and to the first end portion. The membrane fabric includes at least one extending tab segment for manipulating to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure. An associated method provides an operational candle filter.
