Problems solved by technology

Therefore, where multiple processes need to be performed and / or additional stages of a single process type are required, additional components and plumbing connections will be required, again adding to the complexity and size of the system
Specifically, multiple modules need to be piped together in series and / or parallel to suit a particular application, and once constructed, cannot be easily modified to, for example, accommodate changes in system requirements or repair defects

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A perspective view of a membrane module 10 according to one or more embodiments of the invention is shown. The module 10 has a plate-and-frame arrangement and includes a housing 16 and a plurality of diaphragms 12 , 14 arranged therein. It should be noted that there may be two or more different diaphragm configurations included in any given module to direct the flow of multiple streams through the module; however, the diaphragms may also differ in type to The uses perform different functions. For example, modules may include any combination of permeable membranes, vapor contacting membranes, and heat exchange membranes. In one embodiment, housing 16 includes a central body 15 and plugs 17 disposed on each end of body 15 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the housing 16 has a generally rectangular shape; however, other shapes are contemplated and contemplated within the scope of the present invention, eg, cylindrical with a domed plug, similar to a typical pressur...

Abstract

The invention relates to membrane modules and applications therefor. In particular, the invention relates to the construction of membrane modules for use in forward osmosis, heat exchange, and distillation processes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to membrane modules, and more particularly to the manufacture and arrangement of membrane modules and their use. Background technique [0002] Membrane-based fluid isolation systems (eg, osmosis and pervaporation) are well known in the art. Typically, these systems include multiple components connected together by pipe fittings, which add to the complexity and overall size of the system. Additionally, the need to pipe the various components together results in the need for more components (eg, valves, fittings, etc.) and creates additional disadvantages for such systems (eg, additional component costs and leaking from the tubing). [0003] Furthermore, these conventional systems are often arranged for a single application (eg, single pass or single process type). Thus, where multiple processes need to be performed and / or additional stages of a single process type are required, additional components and plumbing...
