A rotary disk filter and a module for building a filter support for a
rotary disk filter are disclosed. The rotary disk filter may comprise a
drum, which is rotatable about its central longitudinal axis. The rotary
disk filter may be adapted to receive a liquid which is to be filtered.
In one implementation, the rotary disk filter may comprise at least one
disk-shaped filter member which on the outside of the drum extends
outwards in the transverse direction of the drum, and which has a filter
support and at least one filter portion supported thereby. A first liquid
duct may extend from the drum through the filter member and out through
the filter portion. The filter portion may be made of filter segments,
which are detachably secured to the filter support. At least one second
liquid duct may extend between adjoining filter segments to provide
liquid communication between the filter segments. The module may comprise
two inner support portions and two outer support portions for at least
partial enclosure of two adjoining filter segments, and an intermediate
support portion adapted to be arranged between the two adjoining filter
segments.
