Patent ID: 8871100

Claim:
A device for processing a bulk liquid comprising particles, the particles in the bulk liquid being at a first concentration, and the device comprising: a vessel having at least one wall; a rotating strainer surface disposed within said vessel that extends from and through said at least one wall, said rotating strainer surface having one or more openings disposed on a circumference thereof, the openings configured to allow an extracted liquid included in the bulk liquid to pass through the strainer surface while preventing particles from passing through the strainer surface, such that a concentration of particles in the extracted liquid is less than the first concentration; an extracted liquid outflow port which outputs the extracted liquid from an interior region of the rotating strainer surface; and a motor configured to rotate the strainer surface at a speed sufficient to generate a centrifugal force or turbulence at the openings sufficient to prevent the particles from clogging the openings, wherein the device is configured to rotate the strainer surface and output the extracted liquid through the extracted liquid outflow port when the strainer surface is fully submerged in the bulk liquid.
