Anti-Corrosion Fluid Filter System

Abstract

An apparatus, method, and system for fluid filtration utilizing a metal alloy core comprised of zinc, nickel, tin, lead, silver, iron, and a remainder of copper. The shapes and sizes of the metal alloy can comprise rods, balls, shavings, tubes, or shot. These shapes and sizes of the metal alloy can then be placed within the various vessels used in the oil and natural gas industries.

         9 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the filter material further comprises a metal alloy comprised of at least 20.0% zinc, 15.5% nickel, 2.5% tin, 1.5% lead, 1.5% silver, 0.5% iron, and a remainder of copper. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the filter material further comprises a metal alloy comprised of no more than 24.0% zinc, 17% nickel, 3.5% tin, 2.5% lead, 5.25% silver, 1.5% iron, and a remainder of copper. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a perforated plate between the upper filter cartridge end plate and the lower filter cartridge end plate. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the upper filter cartridge end plate further comprises a central aperture. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the upper filter cartridge end plate further comprises at least one perforation bore through upper filter cartridge end plate. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the lower filter cartridge end plate further comprises a central aperture. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 8 , wherein the lower filter cartridge end plate further comprises at least one perforation bore through lower filter cartridge end plate. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus for fluid filtration of  claim 9 , wherein the metal alloy is formed into rods.
