TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The central annular filter element comprises continuous flexible resilient cylindrical helical coils. The drive mechanism: moves and rotates one coil relative to a remainder of the coil opening or closing the circumferentially spaced, loop-shaped filter pores between the filter coils; and engages and accurately moves one end of the helical coil relative to the other end of the helical coil to increase or decrease a volume of loop-shaped filter pores between the adjacent coils. The coil is formed from flat wire stock. The filter apparatus further comprises: a central annular filter of a first reaction canister; a second reaction canister; and reaction chambers (130). The central annular filter includes the circumferentially spaced radial filter pores, an inlet, an outlet and the radial mixing blades rotatably supported within a first mixing chamber. The chamber circulates and mixes fluids within the first reaction canister, and directs reaction products to the outlet of the annular filter. The second reaction canister includes an inlet, an outlet that is the inlet of the first reaction canister, the central annular filter element, and the radial mixing blades. The radial mixing blades circulate the fluid within the second reaction canister, and drive the fluid reaction products in the second reaction canister to the outlet of the second reaction canister and the reaction products in the first reaction canister to the second reaction canister. The first and/or second reaction canisters includes the frusto-conical internal surface, and circulates hot or cool fluids for thermochemical transformation of low value organics to valuable fuels, where low molecular portions of low value organics are released from the first reaction chamber to second fuel cell chamber. The radial mixing blades further drive the fluid from the canister towards the minor diameter of the frusto-conical surface. One of the central annular filters of the first and second reaction canisters is the continuous flexible resilient, cylindrical helical coils. Each coil has a regular sinusoidal shape in a direction of a helix formed from flat wire stock, and opposed flat top and bottom surfaces with top and bottom surfaces of adjacent coils in contact at circumferentially spaced locations forming the circumferentially spaced pores. The products from the first chamber under pressure and temperature during fuel formation power a turbo-generator, and release heat to the cold fluids circulating through the radial mixing blades and canister wall of a valuable fuel generation facility. The mixing blades constitute a circulatory system to provide heating or cooling from appended sources, and enable thermochemical reactions, condensation and materials transport within a series of stacked filtration reactors. The central annular filter comprises a dual set of cylindrical generally coaxially aligned helical coils. Each coil is impregnated with fuel cell redox active agents, and is separated by an electrolyte. The reaction chambers are located external and internal to the redox active impregnated coils, and include regular sinusoidal shaped filters, the drive mechanism opening and closing the circumferentially spaced radial pores and a frusto-conical canister. The reaction chambers with frusto-conical canister enable phase separation and solids separation towards the minor diameter of the canister. The impregnated coils provide fuels to the dual fuel cell filter elements.
