Method and apparatus for gas separation.

摘要

Feed gas is directed along the non-skin surface of gas separation membrane modules (21) comprising a cylindrical bundle of parallel contiguous hollow fibers (11) supported to allow feed gas to flow from an inlet (22) at one end of a cylindrical housing (21) through the bores (12) of the bundled fibers (11) to an outlet (24) at the other end while a component of the feed gas permeates through the fibers (11), each having the skin side (13) on the outside, through a permeate outlet (26) in the cylindrical casing (21).
