High-pressure vessel for packaging hollow fiber type membranes for the separation process with contactors

A high-pressure vessel for packaging at least one hollow fiber type membrane for a separation process with membrane contactors, the high-pressure vessel comprising:

• a vessel body;
• and
• a head configured to be connected to the vessel body,
• wherein the vessel body comprises:
• an internal space configured to receive the at least one hollow fiber type membrane;
• at least one hole configured to pass a first stream of a fluid, in contact with an external part of the at least one hollow fiber type membrane, from the internal space to an outside of the vessel body;
• at least one channel configured to receive a sealing ring, the sealing ring configured to be compressed by the head while the sealing ring is in the at least one channel, and
• wherein the head comprises:
• an eccentric connector communicatively connected to the internal space of the vessel body via the at least one hole of the vessel body, the eccentric connector configured as an inlet or an outlet of the first stream of the fluid;
• and
• a central connector communicatively connected to the internal space of the vessel body, the central connector configured as an inlet or an outlet of a second stream of the fluid that circulates through a lumen of the at least one hollow fiber type membrane.
