Inverted cone filtration (ICF) is a process used to remove particulate and dissolved contaminants from a designated fluid such as water.
In a typical design, fluid enters the narrow top end of the filter falling onto a chamber where pressure head is built to force the fluid across woven filter media. The pressure differential on the inner and outer wall of the filter is caused by a low pressure outlet pipe that carries out the treated fluid.
Practical application[edit]
Inverted cone filtration has been successfully used in stormwater quality application. The filter is made with monofilament polypropylene that as serves as a barrier to solid and dissolved particulate matter.
