Abstract
A filter apparatus includes an elongated housing with a filter input port to the housing and a filter output port to the housing. A mixture flow path is defined within the housing and extends from the filter input port to the filter output port such that the filter input port is in fluid communication with the output port through the mixture flow path. Two or more filter medium receiving volumes are defined within the housing along the mixture flow path, each filter medium receiving volume configured to receive a filter medium and contain the filter medium in the respective filter medium receiving volume. The filter medium receiving volumes are arranged within the housing such that a total length of the filter medium receiving volumes along a housing longitudinal axis is longer than the length of the housing along the housing longitudinal axis defined by the housing.
