MOBILE VACUUM FILTRATION STATION

摘要

There is a whole field of research of the aquatic environment related to the filtration of different volumes of water to isolate suspended components or the concentration of the sample with subsequent analysis. When filtering large volumes of water, it is standard to use a vacuum pump in conjunction with a large volume receiver. Filtered water accumulates in the receiver, which must be emptied periodically, interrupting the filtration process. The article describes a mobile vacuum filtration station that allows continuous filtration of samples. The developed station does not contain a receiver and therefore performs filtration at a much lower weight and dimensions, which allows it to be used to perform work in the field. The station is completely safe when working with seawater.
