A filtration apparatus for filtering fluids including a top compartment, a filtration compartment, and a bottom compartment. The filtration compartment includes plural filtration elements arranged in parallel, the filtration elements further including at least one permeate collecting tube, wherein the permeate connecting tube is in fluid communication with the top compartment such that in a filtration operation a continuous permeate flow into a permeate collecting chamber of the top compartment is provided and in a backwash operation permeate collected in the permeate collecting chamber is flushed back through the filtration elements. A method for filtering fluids can use the filtration apparatus. |
