Portable Membrane Filtration - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017214 titled 'Portable Membrane Filtration

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a portable filtration system that includes a mixing portion consisting of a pump adaptor and a contaminant regulator. The pump adaptor is made up of an upper plate, a lower plate, and a screen that extends between them, creating a channel in a mixing chamber. The contaminant regulator is connected to the upper plate and has a through-passage that is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber.

• The pump adaptor is composed of an upper plate, a lower plate, and a screen.
• The screen extends axially between the upper and lower plates.
• The upper plate, lower plate, and screen define a channel in a mixing chamber.
• The contaminant regulator is coupled to the upper plate.
• The contaminant regulator has a through-passage that is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber.

Potential Applications:

• Water filtration in outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, or boating.
• Emergency response situations where clean water is needed.
• Filtering water in remote or underdeveloped areas without access to clean water sources.

Problems Solved:

• Provides a portable solution for filtering contaminants from water.
• Allows for easy and convenient access to clean water in various situations.
• Reduces the risk of waterborne diseases by removing harmful contaminants.

Benefits:

• Portable and lightweight design for easy transportation.
• Simple and user-friendly operation.
• Provides a reliable and efficient method for water filtration.
• Can be used in various environments and situations.
• Helps ensure access to clean and safe drinking water.
