Abstract
Systems and methods of filtering particulate matter from a fluid are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a system for filtering particulate matter having suspended particles, organic contaminants, and microorganisms from a fluid comprises a main filter assembly having an activated carbon block disposed therein. The carbon block has distributed pores with a diameter of less than one micron. Further, the carbon block is operable to filter all of the particulate matter having a diameter or a non-spherical width of at least 0.45 microns from the fluid, and adsorb the particulate matter having a diameter or a non-spherical width of at least 0.003 microns from the fluid.
