ANODIZED ALUMINUM OXIDE TUBULAR NANO-POROUS MEMBRANE MODULE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an anodized aluminum oxide tubular nano-porous membrane array module and method of manufacture thereof. Further the invention relates to a system of such modules. The tubular membrane modules of the present invention can be cascaded to up-scale the surface area of the overall system rather than scaling the surface area of a single tubular membrane. Thus the volume density that is the available surface area for filtration per unit volume of the system is substantially enhanced without compromising on mechanical stability to withstand the pressure differential defines by the end use application.

主权项

1. An anodized aluminum oxide tubular nano-porous membrane array module comprising
inlet header that is provided with one or plurality of openings, outlet header provided with corresponding one or plurality of openings, nano-porous tubular membranes joining each pair of openings from the said inlet header and the said outlet header, support joining the said headers wherein the said nano-porous tubular membrane is joined with the said openings of the headers to form an array of tubular membranes.
