A method for minimizing the impact of integrity loss on hollow fiber membrane modules.

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing the effect of integrity loss in a hollow fiber membrane module, said module including a plurality of hollow fiber membranes ( 5 ), at least one end of the fiber membranes ( 5 ) being supported in a pot ( 6 ), the method including the step of increasing flow resistance of the liquid through the lumen ( 8 ) of the fiber membrane ( 5 ) in the region of the pot ( 6 ).
