Abstract:
A system for removing sediment from water is disclosed. The exemplary embodiments described herein disclose a system with a chamber having a deck positioned inside to divide it into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The deck may have a plurality of holes to hold filtration elements and also may have a ridge or a skirt or both. The filtration elements may be filter cartridges with multiple elongated filter elements that extend down into the lower chamber.

Claim (Index 4):
A system for removing suspended particles from a liquid, the system comprising:\n a filter vessel defining an internal chamber; a deck positioned within the internal chamber and dividing the internal chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the deck having a plurality of holes formed therein, each hole having a filtration cartridge mounted therein and extending down into the lower chamber; an inlet for introducing a liquid into the internal chamber for a treatment flow through the internal chamber; an outlet for passing liquid out of the internal chamber; wherein the treatment flow passes through the lower chamber, up through the filtration cartridges to the upper chamber and then to the outlet; and a ridge positioned atop the deck, wherein the ridge forms an outlet weir atop the deck, at least one of the filtration cartridges is positioned as a first filtration cartridge on a first side of the ridge so that liquid that moves upward through the first filtration cartridge for filtration during the treatment flow exits the internal chamber by passing over the ridge to reach the outlet of the internal chamber, and when flow of the liquid into the internal chamber subsides the treatment flow also subsides, and liquid that has accumulated above the deck on the first side of the ridge then flows downward through the first filtration cartridge to backwash the first filtration cartridge, causing liquid in the lower chamber to flow upward through another opening in the deck on the second side of the ridge and then to the outlet of the internal chamber without passing over the ridge.
