LIQUID DEGASSING MEMBRANE CONTACTORS, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

Contactors, modules, components, systems, and/or methods of manufacture, and/or methods of use including degassing liquids. The contactor or module is integrally potted, has planar, disc shaped end caps, and a cylindrical housing or shell receiving and supporting membrane structure. Each of the planar disc shaped end caps has a central opening therein adapted to receive a liquid end port or nozzle, another opening therein adapted to receive a gas end port or threaded pipe, and is held in place in the housing or shell by at least one retaining element such as a retaining or locking ring. The integrally potted membrane structure is potted in place in the housing or shell by an inverted potting process involving the use of a removable plunger or plug to recess the potting.
