Centrifugal Filtration for emergency Space Habitat Systems

In place of filtrarion edia, a hand or foot operasted centrifuge may separate particles more efficiently than filters would. In large systems, a set of spinning tubes that are sized up to 3' diameter, are used for large quantity liquid filtration. The tubes would have pressure release valves on the ends to allow sediments to be expunged when pressures become too high within the tubes. The valves close after sediments are gone.
