Fluid Degassing Apparatus

摘要

An elongated flow-through degassing apparatus includes an elongated gas permeable outer shell and one or more gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable elongated inner conveyance members extending within the outer shell and at least partially through a chamber defined within the outer shell. The apparatus also includes inlet and outlet junctions for securing the outer shell to the inner conveyance member. The outer shell exhibits a first permeance that is substantially greater than a second permeance of the inner conveyance member. The degassing apparatus may be sufficiently flexible so as to be readily manipulatable into desired configurations.

1. An apparatus for degassing a fluid having a liquid and a target gas, said apparatus comprising:
a first porous barrier separating a first chamber from an environment, said first barrier having a porosity communicating said first chamber to the environment, wherein said porosity provides for a first permeance to the target gas; and a second non-porous, gas-permeable barrier separating said first chamber into a retentate side and a permeate side, said second barrier being arranged for contacting the fluid at said retentate side, and providing for a second permeance to the target gas, wherein a ratio of said first permeance to said second permeance is between 5:1 and 1000:1.
