GRAYWATER SEPARATION DEVICE

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a device and method for the filtration of gray water from a household. In some embodiments, the gray water can be filtered using a conical rotor and filtration media, which can provide enhanced filtration through the use of Taylor vorticity filtration. The filtered water can have various uses back in the household after filtration.

主权项

1. A system for the filtration of gray water, comprising:
a Taylor vorticity filtration device comprising: a conical housing comprising a removable cap, an inlet port, a retentate output port and a filtrate output port; a removable filter assembly comprising a filter media and a substrate and one or more circumferential seals, wherein the removable filter assembly is disposed along at least a portion of an inner wall of the housing; a conical rotor coupled to a drive axle, and configured to rotate within the housing; and a gap between the removable filter assembly disposed along at least the portion of the inner wall of the housing and the rotor, such that rotation of the rotor within the housing generates Taylor vortices within the gap, wherein the gap is adjustable by repositioning the rotor relative to the housing.
