SLUDGE CONCENTRATOR ASSEMBLY WITH VARYING FIRST STAGE SEPARATOR, COMBINED WITH A SECOND STAGE, CLEAN FLOW OUTLET INCORPORATING FIXED AND VARIABLE FLOW RESTRICTOR ORIFICES

摘要

A dual stage filter assembly for use in a fluid cleaning and sludge removal operation, including a first stage separator incorporated into a first vessel and receiving a dirty fluid flow, a first stage clean fluid outlet extending from the first stage separator. A second stage filter is incorporated into a second vessel in fluidic communication with a dirty fluid outlet of the first stage separator for subsequent filtering and outflow through a second stage clean outlet. A flow restrictor is incorporated into said second stage clean outlet for controlling a flow rate through said filter in order to prevent clogging of the same by aggregating debris.
