Abstract
A fluid separation apparatus comprising a fluid separation membrane is provided. The fluid separation apparatus comprises a fluid separation membrane extending in one direction and having a cross-section with a closed curve shape, wherein the fluid separation membrane has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 2 mm, and an outer diameter of 60 mm to 360 mm when the cross-section is adjusted to be circular.
Claims6
A fluid separation apparatus comprising:
- a chamber;
- a first flow path which guides, into the chamber, a mixed fluid containing multiple types of fluids that comprise a target fluid to be separated;
- a fluid separation part which is provided within the chamber and comprises a plurality of separation units separating at least a portion of the target fluid from the mixed fluid;
- a second flow path which guides the target fluid separated by the fluid separation part to the outside of the chamber;
- and
- a third flow path which guides a residual fluid within the chamber to the outside of the chamber,
- wherein each of the separation units comprises a plurality of fluid separation membranes which are located within the chamber to be bent at least once in a U shape and connected to the second flow path, wherein each of the fluid separation membranes allows at least a portion of the target fluid to move from the mixed fluid flowing outside the fluid separation membrane into the fluid separation membrane, and
- wherein the chamber comprises a mixed fluid inlet which forms part of the first flow path and further comprising a mixed fluid diffusing part which comprises a first mixed fluid guide pipe connected to the mixed fluid inlet within the chamber and a second mixed fluid guide pipe branching from the first mixed fluid guide pipe and diffusing the mixed fluid received through the first mixed fluid guide pipe within the chamber.
