ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for filtering and dialyzing a suspension including particulates and increasing the concentration of retainable matter wherein the suspension is drawn through the filter in a manner such that a negative pressure gradient is exerted on the suspension to cause the particulates to be drawn away from the filter membrane and avoid clogging the filter membrane. The apparatus comprises a multiplicity of pumps which are located downstream from the filter to thereby suck the suspension out of the filter and away from the filter membrane. The apparatus also comprises a multiplicity of different valve arrangements which permit filtering and dialysis to be performed independently of each other or simultaneously. A multiplicity of different filters, including stacked circular and rectangular filters are utilized such that locations within the system with the greatest clogging potential will be compensated and overcome by a corresponding more negative pressure to decrease the potential of clogging.
