SYSTEMS AND ADSORPTION FILTERS FOR FILTERING PARTICULATE MATTER FROM FLUID STREAMS

An adsorption filter for removing particulate matter from a fluid includes an outer housing including an upper end, a lower end, and an inner cavity. In addition, the adsorption filter includes a filter assembly disposed in the inner cavity of the outer housing. The filter assembly includes a supply conduit having an inlet end, an outlet end disposed in the inner cavity, and a linear section extending vertically from the outlet end. The supply conduit is configured to flow the fluid into the inner cavity. Further, the filter assembly includes a first pair of filter discs mounted to the linear section of the supply conduit. The first pair of filter discs includes an upper filter disc and a lower filter disc positioned below the upper filter disc. Each filter disc includes a base and a plurality of parallel flow diverters extending from the base. Each base and each flow diverter slidingly engages an inner surface of the outer housing. Each base includes a flow orifice extending vertically therethrough. The flow diverters of the upper filter disc extend downward from the base of the upper filter disc and the flow diverters of the lower filter disc extend upward from the base of the lower filter disc. The flow diverters of the upper filter disc intermesh with the flow diverters of the lower filter disc. An outer surface of each base and an outer surface of each flow diverter is coated in an adhesive configured to capture the particulate matter.
