LAB Filtration Unit

       -The coffee filter to separate the coffeeinfusion from the grounds.

-HEPA filtersin air conditioning to remove particles fromair.

-Belt filters toextract precious metals in mining.

-Air filters are commonly used to remove airborne particulate matter inbuilding ventilation systems, combustion engines, and industrial processes.

-Oil filter inautomobiles, often as a canister or cartridge.

-Aquarium filter

-Adsorption filtration includes:

-Carbon dioxide removal from breathing gas in rebreathers and life-support systems using scrubber filters,

-Activated carbon filters to removevolatile hydrocarbons, odours, and other contaminants from                recirculated breathing gas in closedhabitats.

-Vertical plate filter such as those used in Merrill Crowe process.

- Nutsche filters typicallyused in pharmaceutical applications or batch processes that need to capturesolids.

-Furnaces use filtration to prevent the furnace elements from foulingwith particulates.

-Pneumaticconveying systems often employ filtration to stop or slow theflow of material that is transported, through the use of a baghouse.

-In the laboratory, a Buchnerfunnel is often used, with a filter paper servingas the porous barrier.
