Abstract:
1. A system for filtering organic molecules from an electrolyte solution, comprising: a source of an electrolyte solution with organic molecules; a pressure filter vessel receiving solution with organic molecules from said source, said pressure filter vessel including coalescing media above a solution out let at the bottom of the vessel whereby solution flows downward through the coalescing media to the solution outlet; a pump adapted to introduce pressurized air into the solution prior to the solution flowing downward through the coalescing media, whereby said introduced pressurized air causes organic molecules in said solution to float to the top of said vessel prior to said solution flowing into said coalescing media; and an organic vent outlet at the top of the vessel, said vent outlet being periodically openable to burp organic molecules floating at the top of the vessel.
