The sleeve includes an interior volume with an outer radial portion and an inner radial portion. The first endcap includes first plurality of ports that connect to the outer radial portion and the inner radial portion of the interior volume of the sleeve. The second endcap includes a second plurality of ports that connect to the outer radial portion and the inner radial portion of the interior volume of the sleeve. The filter housing is configured to enclose a filter member in the sleeve between the first endcap and the second endcap. A method is for filtering liquid with a filter that includes a filter member and a filter housing.

Hollow fiber cartridges and components and methods of their construction.

The present disclosure relates to a filter module for a medical fluid delivery system capable of removing cytokine inducing substances (CIS) from a medical fluid.

A filtration device includes features for robust filtering capability. In particular, the filtration device includes a filter medium having mixed matrix membranes that include hollow fiber membranes embedded with adsorbents such that the filter medium provides both mechanical and adsorption capability.

A hollow fiber membrane module includes a housing having an inlet formed one end thereof and an outlet formed on the other end thereof, in which hot and humid humidifying fluid flows in through the inlet and the humidifying fluid after humidifying a cool and dry fluid flowing out of the housing through the outlet; at least one hollow fiber membrane bundle which is inserted into the housing in the longitudinal direction; a partitioning part for supporting the hollow fiber membrane bundle and partitioning an inflow space, in which the humidifying fluid flowing into the housing momentarily remains, and an outflow space, in which the humidifying fluid momentarily remains before being discharged through the outlet; and a potting part for potting both ends of the hollow fiber membrane bundle to the housing.

Hydrogen generation assemblies, hydrogen purification devices, and their components are disclosed. In some embodiments, the devices may include a permeate frame with a membrane support structure having first and second membrane support plates that are free from perforations and that include a plurality of microgrooves configured to provide flow channels for at least part of the permeate stream. In some embodiments, the assemblies may include a return conduit fluidly connecting a buffer tank and a reformate conduit, a return valve assembly configured to manage flow in the return conduit, and a control assembly configured to operate a fuel processing assembly between run and standby modes based, at least in part, on detected pressure in the buffer tank and configured to direct the return valve assembly to allow product hydrogen stream to flow from the buffer tank to the reformate conduit when the fuel processing assembly is in the standby mode.

Disclosed is a hollow fiber filter arrangement and a bioreactor system comprising such a hollow fiber filter arrangement. The hollow fiber filter arrangement comprising: an inlet for receiving a sample to be filtered in the hollow fiber filter arrangement; an outlet for delivering of the filtered sample out from the hollow fiber filter arrangement; a bundle of elongate hollow fibers connected at a first end to the inlet and connected at an opposite second end to the outlet; and an outer housing enclosing the bundle, wherein a filtrate/waste collection space is provided between the outer housing and the at least one elongated hollow fiber, and wherein the outer housing is made from a flexible material.

A blood processing apparatus may include a heat exchanger and a gas exchanger. At least one of the heat exchanger and the gas exchanger may be configured to impart a radial component to blow flow through the heat exchanger and/or gas exchanger. The heat exchanger may be configured to cause blood flow to follow a spiral flow path.

A spiral-wound acid gas separation membrane element (1) includes a wound body which includes a laminate and a perforated core (5), the laminate being wound around the perforated core tube (5) and including: a separation membrane (2), a feed-side channel component (3), and an element constituent layer (e.g., permeate-side channel component (4)). The separation membrane (2) is provided with a sealing section (25) present at both widthwise ends of the separation membrane (2). The sealing section (25) is sealed with an adhesive. This makes it possible not only to separate acid gas from mixed gas more efficiently as compared to a conventional spiral-wound acid gas separation membrane element but also to save energy.

A hollow fiber membrane cartridge according to an aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of hollow fiber membranes and a body portion in which the plurality of hollow fiber membranes are arranged, and above which and below which mesh portions are formed, respectively, wherein the mesh portion includes a plurality of joints and a window formed to be surrounded by the plurality of joints, and a radius of curvature of the joint is 1 to 7 times a diameter of the hollow fiber membrane.
