Abstract
Feed gas is directed tangentially along the non-skin surface of gas separation membrane modules comprising a cylindrical bundle of parallel contiguous hollow fibers supported to allow feed gas to flow from an inlet at one end of a cylindrical housing through the bores of the bundled fibers to an outlet at the other end while a component of the feed gas permeates through the fibers, each having the skin side on the outside, through a permeate outlet in the cylindrical casing.
Claims7
A method of gas separating with membranes having a skin side and a non-skin side which method includes the steps of,
- directing a feed gas having a plurality of components tangentially along the non-skin side of said membrane to cause a component of said feed gas to permeate through said membrane,
- and withdrawing the permeated gas component.
