A filter element having multiple formed layers of filtration media is disclosed. The media are layered so as to form a pore size gradient. The filter element is capable of removing both solid and liquid particulates from a moving fluid stream. The filter element has high strength and compressibility. The layers can be supported on a porous or perforate support to provide mechanical stability during filtering operations. The filtration media layers can be formed into various filter element forms such as panels, cartridges, inserts, and the like. Se describe un elemento de filtro que tiene múltiples capas formadas de medios de filtración. Los medios se encapan a fin de formar un gradiente del tamaño de poro. El elemento de filtro es capaz de remover partículas sólidas y líquidas a partir de una corriente de fluido en movimiento. El elemento de filtro tiene una alta resistencia y comprensibilidad. Las capas pueden soportarse sobre un poro o un soporte perforado para proporcionar una estabilidad mecánica durante las operaciones de filtración. Las capas de medios de filtración pueden formarse en varias formas de elementos de filtro tales como paneles, cartuchos, forros y similares.
