<p>one present invention relates generally to a fluid flow housing (10) including a fluid inlet port (12) and a fluid outlet port (14) located on one side of the filtration membrane (16) which is designed to be mounted within the housing (10). The housing (10) also comprises a filtration outlet port (18) positioned on an opposite side of the filtration membrane (16). The housing (10) is of a split construction having a first housing section (20) and a second housing section (22) located on either side of and sandwiching the filtration membrane (16) therebetween. The fluid inlet and outlets (12 and 14) are formed within the first housing secting (20) whereas the filtrate outlet (18) is formed in the second housing section (22). The housing (10) is configured so that fluid passing through it is less susceptible to current eddies which may develop in a conventional filtration device housing, the current eddies driving particles filtered from the fluid stream back onto the filtration device.</p> |
