A serial flow channel type filter cartridge includes a filter portion which includes a plurality of filter bodies and a plurality of filter housings corresponding to the plurality of filter bodies and independently accommodating the respective filter bodies and a cartridge header in which a top is formed in a structure in which a tap water pipe surrounds a perimeter of a purified water pipe, a plurality of filter accommodating pipes coupled with top ends of the plurality of filter housings which form the filter portion to seal an inside of the filter portion are formed at a bottom, and a serial structure type flow channel which allows tap water to sequentially flow into the plurality of filter accommodating pipes and then allows the water purified while sequentially passing through the plurality of filter bodies to be discharged through the purified water pipe is formed therein.

A filtration module is provided, the module including at least one filtration packet containing filtration media or one or more membranes, such as a stack of membranes, the at least one filtration packet having one or more fluid ports, the one or more fluid ports being surrounded by a primary seal and a secondary seal spaced from the primary seal. The secondary seals are designed to maintain sterility of the assembly during shipping, handling and/or installation. A removable film may cover one or more fluid ports to maintain sterility prior to use.

A cartridge for use in a water purification apparatus and a water purification method for maintaining a water quality supply are provided. The cartridge comprises an elongated tubular body having first and second ends comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and an internal chamber extending between the first and second end. The first end includes an end cap having a first opening in fluid communication with the body. A disinfectant material is disposed in the internal chamber of the body. Filters are disposed in the elongated tubular body adjacent to the first opening and adjacent the second end of the elongated tubular body and are in fluid communication with the internal chamber and the fluid outlet. The second end of the elongated tubular body comprising an exterior surface having a tapered portion and a linear portion adjacent to the tapered portion.

Described are assemblies of porous polymeric filter membranes that include two polymeric filter membranes in series, i.e., as part of a membrane assembly; filter components and filter products that include the two polymeric filter membrane layers; methods of assembling the polymeric filter membranes, filter components, and filter products; and methods of using the polymeric filter membranes to remove particles from a liquid such as a semiconductor processing liquid fluid.

A composite filter cartridge is adapted to filter raw water to produce purified water, and includes an inner carbon tube, an outer carbon tube, a first end cap, a second end cap, and a plurality of resin granules. The inner carbon tube defines a water outlet channel adapted to output the purified water. The outer carbon tube is concentric with the inner carbon tube, and is spaced apart from the inner carbon tube. The first and second end caps respectively limit two ends of the inner and outer carbon tubes. The first end cap closes an end of the water outlet channel. The second end cap has a water outlet communicating with the water outlet channel. The second end cap cooperates with the inner carbon tube, the outer carbon tube, and the first end cap to define a resin granule accommodation space where the resin granules are accommodated.
