MEMBRANE FILTRATION MANIFOLD SYSTEM

摘要

A membrane filtration manifold (1) for connecting a filter submodule (2) including one or more elongate bundles of semipermeable polymeric fibres. The manifold (1) includes a housing (3) and connecting collar (4) connected with said housing (3). The collar (4) is adapted to receive and locate the submodule (2), where the submodule has a connecting sleeve (5) with a locking formation (6). The submodule (2) can be secured at one end to the collar (4) by a clip means (7) adapted to engage both the collar and the locking formation to prevent axial withdrawal of the submodule from the collar. Also disclosed is a membrane filtration apparatus (25) including a filter submodule (2) including one or more elongate bundles of semipermeable polymeric fibres. The apparatus further includes a membrane filtration manifold removably connected at oneend of said filter submodule (2) and a basepiece (27) removably connected to the other end of said filter submodule.
