The present invention addresses to a high-pressure vessel for packaging hollow fiber type membranes with application in the field of separation process with contactors with membranes aiming at a compact device/piece of equipment configured for the packaging of hollow fiber type bundles that can be used for various fluid separation processes such as liquid-liquid, liquid-gas and gas-gas, capable of working at high-pressures, enabling adequate hydrodynamic conditions and easily scalable. It is called a module the general piece of equipment, consisting of the vessel (A or C), object of the present invention, and the membranes packed inside the vessel. This piece of equipment consists of a vessel inside which the membranes are placed (14), and two heads attached at the ends (B or D). Each head has two connection points, thus allowing this device to be used with membrane contactors-type separation systems, such as “classical” permeation systems (liquid-liquid, gas-gas, pervaporation).

The present disclosure relates to a diffusion device, such as a blood oxygenator or gas exchanger, and a process for its production. The diffusion device is used in the removal of carbon dioxide from blood.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for treating air.

A separation membrane module includes a separation membrane complex having a support and a separation membrane provided on the support, a housing container for housing the separation membrane complex, and a sealing member existing between a supporting surface provided inside the housing container and a supported surface of the separation membrane complex, being in close contact with the supporting surface and the supported surface. A first static friction coefficient between the sealing member and the supported surface and/or a second static friction coefficient between the sealing member and the supporting surface are/is not higher than 0.5. A value obtained by multiplying the first static friction coefficient and/or the second static friction coefficient by a compressive force [N] of the sealing member and dividing the product by a mass [kg] of the separation membrane complex is larger than 0.7.

A tube unit includes multiple tubes and bundling portions that bundle end portions of respective tubes at opposite ends of the tubes. At least one of the end portions of respective tubes has a tube wall portion that tubularly extends in an extension direction of the tubes and also has a protrusion protruding radially outward from the tube wall portion.

Spiral wound reverse osmosis devices with reduced lateral leakage and thereby increased salt rejection are made by compacting a microporous layer within a composite reverse osmosis membrane longitudinally along its lengthwise periphery. Means and method for causing longitudinal indentations in composite membranes during manufacturing operations are disclosed and described.

The present invention provides a membrane filtration module comprising a housing in which the filtration membrane is disposed in a fixed positional relationship by a potting or bonding material obtained by the curing of a two component (2K) composition consisting of: a first component (A) comprising at least one compound (a) having at least two acetoacetate functional groups; and, a second component (B) comprising at least one compound (b) having at least one amino group, each said amino group being a primary or secondary amino group.

Track-etched membranes for filtration are provided. Filtration methods utilizing such membranes and cell culture methods are also provided.

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.
