Abstract
A particle separation system may comprise a vessel having at least one side wall and a bottom wall forming an internal chamber within the vessel, a filtration unit positioned within the vessel and including a first filtration pack including a first plurality of filter elements, an inlet for moving pre-separated fluid into the vessel, and an outlet in fluid communication with the filtration pack for moving processed fluid out of the vessel, a rate of pre-separated fluid flow into the vessel and a rate of processed fluid flow out of the vessel each being between about 10 and about 1000 gallons per minute (GPM) and a flux within the filtration unit is less than or equal to about 0.05 gallons per minute per square foot (GPM/ft2).
