Membrane module useful as biological reactor for chemical conversions - comprises membrane having one axially arranged membrane and one membrane in direction of main fluid flow to separate inlet and outlet pipe connection

摘要

Fluid flows through a membrane module in which at least two membrane lengths are in close proximity and cross each other at intervals. The novelty is that one membrane is arranged axially and the other is arranged in the direction of the main flow of fluid through the module and that the membranes separate the inlet and outlet pipe connections. One of the membranes is formed of U-shaped capillaries connected radially to a central tube so that the beginning of each U-shaped capillary (seen from the central pipe axis) is in front of the sepg. wall and ends after the sepg. wall. USE/ADVANTAGE - The membrane module serves as a biological reactor, as a reactor for chemical conversions, and as a sepn. unit for different substances. The membrane reactor contains a reaction zone in which several components can be brought together under ideal conditions for the process, created by simultaneous and independent control over several parameters.
