APPARATUS FOR THE TREATMENT OF LIQUIDS INCLUDING FOREIGN SUBSTANCES

摘要

In an apparatus for the treatment of liquids including foreign substances, particularly municipal and commercial waste waters, comprising a membrane separating structure having membrane elements, an inlet for receiving the liquid to be separated and passing it past the membrane elements whereby a permeant portion of the liquid permeates through the membranes and a retent portion becomes enriched with the foreign substances, and outlets for discharging the permeant portion and the retent portion, the membrane elements are arranged so as to form together flow channels extending longitudinally through the apparatus and adapted to guide the liquid straight through the flow channels along the membrane elements.
