Multiple bundle fluid separation apparatus.

摘要

Multiple bundle fluid separation apparatus [23] having at least two hollow fiber membrane bundles [1] arranged in end-to-end linear series encased in a shell or casing [25]. The bundles [1] are in communication with a core tube [6] and are connected serially in such fashion that one end of one bundle is connected to one end of its adjacent bundle. There is also present an auxiliary permeate tube [13] to convey permeate to a permeate exit port [19]. The casing [25] has appropriate ports for feed inlet [8], and retentate [11] and permeate outlets [19].
