A permeate which is extracted from both ends of a hollow fiber bundle (10) and discharged at one end only of a permeator. …<??>A fluid feedstock such as salt water is introduced under pressure through the first port (20). …<??>It flows through adaptor (dual passage connector) (32) and the perforations in first tube (62) and radially through the bundle (10). The permeate (fresh water) enters hollow fibers (12) by reverse osmosis and flows through the open ends of the fibers to porous blocks (42, 48). The permeate from block (42) flows through adaptor (32), imperforate tube (64) and bushing (54) to the third port (24). The permeate from block (48) flows directly to port (24). The rejected brine flows through screen (60) and the open spaces between shroud (36) and shell (14) to the second port (22). |
