Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The water filtration apparatus is based on the principles of swirl-separation, flow-straightening and biological filtration. The waste stream is introduced into a swirl chamber. Overflow from the swirl chamber is introduced into a biological chamber in the form of a vertically-oriented tube bundle, where it is straightened, its velocity is reduced and it is allowed to contact a biologically active media. The overflow from the tube bundle is then removed. Underflow is removed from the bottom of the swirl chamber.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 20, 1993 and granted August 8, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 20, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 20, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
