MILLER FILTER

WHY HAS STATE-OF-THE-ART-
TECHNOLOGY FAILED?


Contents of this chapter:


REASON FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART FAILURE

The reason is depicted on the chart below.
State-of-the-art filters for FLUID PURIFICATION illustrated on the right hand column are not only unsuitable for purifying industrial and municipal LIQUID effluent AND attaining the purity required for the permanent purification and total re-circulation of USED AIR in large buildings and enclosed inhabited spaces but are one of the main causes of the present contamination of the environment.

This led to the proliferation of a large number of specialized filter designs depicted on the left and right hand side

The prime object of the
development of the

was to provide a design capable
of BOTH
modes of operation
for universal application with
the capability of recycling both
liquid and gaseous effluent in

EVOLUTION

In effect the compact progenitor FILTER PRESS was taken as the model for all further design developments concerning FLUID PURIFICATION.
The problem of the exposed design of the filter press was solved by simply encasing the bundle of filter elements in sealed pressure vessels. This remained the design basis of state of the art fluid purifying apparatus for almost a century and is the cause of much of the present environmental predicament.
This evolutionary dead-end thus developed was due to enclosing inaccessible bundles of filter media within sealed vessels making effective media regeneration difficult if not impossible for liquid purification in the NANO - MICRO range of separation.

MAIN GOAL OF MILLER DEVELOPMENT

The MAIN goal of the MILLER development was to provide apparatus and systems for fluid purification providing EFFECTIVE MEDIA REGENERATION with the capability of purifying and recycling the liquid used for regeneration.
To achieve this the MILLER PRESSURE BELT with the EXPANDED SURFACE and PACKED BED ELEMENTS were devised and developed not only for purifying and recycling fluid effluent but also for mastering the filtration and liquid purification operations including the liquid waste purification within the individual plants themselves throughout the whole range of liquid processing and using industries.
