Patent ID: 7686965

Claim:
A method for performing fluid filtration through a plurality of radial arms rotating about an axis in a filtration unit, each of said plurality of radial arms comprising therein a twisted influent vane and a first filter and a second filter disposed in-series, the method comprising: obtaining a source influent from a larger target source of fluid to be filtered; transferring said source influent to said plurality of radial arms rotating about an axis; passing said source influent through said twisted influent vanes to enhance a Coriolis effect on said source influent, thereby forming an enhanced Coriolis-effected influent; passing said Coriolis-effected influent from said twisted influent vanes through said first filter to create a filtrate and a first concentrated solid; passing said filtrate through said second filter to create a final filtered fluid effluent and a second concentrated solid; separately discharging said first concentrated solid and said second concentrated solid from said radial arms; and discharging said final filtered fluid effluent, wherein said Coriolis effect has an antifouling effect as said source influent crosses said first and second filters disposed within each of said radial arms and wherein said fluid filtration removes organic particles having a size of about 0.2-35 microns.
