Abstract
The invention recites a filtration system including a block including a first wall and a second wall substantially parallel to the first wall. A top surface that is substantially perpendicular to the first wall is disposed between, and coupled to, the first and second walls to at least partially define an inner chamber. The top surface further includes an orifice defining a passageway between a block exterior and the inner chamber. A plate including a plurality of slots, each slot having a width of less than about 0.065 inches, and a slot outlet, is coupled to the top surface of the block. The slot outlets in the plate are substantially coplanar and the plate, when coupled to the block, substantially covers the orifice.
