A fluid degassing device comprising a flat first membrane, a first plate with a first fluid channel which has a curved, tortuous or winding path and a second plate with a first vacuum channel wherein the first membrane is positioned between the first and second plates. The vacuum channel may have a curved, tortuous path. Ideally, the first membrane is pressure sealed to the first and second plates. In use, fluid flows through the device along the first fluid channel and as the fluid contacts the first membrane, a vacuum applied to the first vacuum channel draws free and dissolved gasses out of the fluid through the membrane and into the vacuum channel. The device may comprise multiple first and second plates (fig 4c) with membranes sandwiched between, or alternatively a stack may be formed of plates with vacuum channels on one side and fluid channels on the opposite (fig 3). A method of degassing a fluid comprises pumping the fluid through a degasser device at 1500 litres per minute. A method of degassing a fluid by passing the fluid through a first and a second degassing module while compressing the both modules with a compression system. |
