<p>A fluid treatment system is described which is particularly suitable for treating blood or a blood derived fluid which comprises fluid delivery means (10) for delivering the fluid to membrane filtration means (16); the membrane filtration means (16) being adapted for treating the fluid to remove a filtrate stream (50) from the fluid; reservoir means (20) connected to the filtration means (16) for receiving a batch of treated fluid; treated fluid discharge means (22) connected to the reservoir means (20) for discharging treated fluid from the reservoir means (20); filtrate discharge means (18, 52) connected to the filtration means (16) for discharging filtrate therefrom; and pressure sensor means (42, 58) for sensing the trans-membrane pressure in the membrane filtration means (16) and controlling the rate of delivery of the fluid by the delivery means (10).</p> |
