Claims23
A membrane module comprising:
- a plurality of membrane sub-units configured to be removably coupled together to form at least a portion of a pressure housing of the membrane module, the pressure housing including an inlet and an outlet and defining an exterior surface of the membrane module, wherein the plurality of membrane sub-units include a first membrane sub-unit and a second membrane sub-unit;
- a first membrane cartridge removably disposed in a first cavity defined by the first membrane sub-unit, the first membrane cartridge having a non-cylindrical profile;
- and
- a second membrane cartridge removably disposed in a second cavity defined by the second membrane sub-unit, the second membrane cartridge having a non-cylindrical profile.
