Abstract

An integral canister filter having multiple layers, including a prefiltration layer. The prefiltration layer may filter oil and/or water from an airflow to protect downstream components. The prefiltration layer may be treated with a water and/or oil repelling or absorbing material. The second layer may be a porous membrane filter positioned downstream of the prefiltration layer. The third layer may provide structural support for the first and/or second layers.
