Abstract
An assembly () which is intended for use at an area () for allowing a fluid to pass therethrough comprises a filter () for blocking items from passing through the area () along with the fluid, and at least one anti-biofouling source () for emitting ultraviolet light during operation thereof for realizing anti-biofouling of at least a portion of the filter (). The filter () comprises a filter body provided with apertures, wherein the actual filter body is at least partially transparent to the ultraviolet light, so that anti-biofouling of the entire filter () may be guaranteed, even in case the anti-biofouling source () is positioned at only one side () of the filter () and/or is integrated in the filter ().
