A membrane filter comprises one or several tubular flow channels (1) for liquid which is to be treated in the filter. The walls of the flow channels consist on the inner side of membranes, which are supported by a supporting structure. An outer casing (2) surrounds the flow channels and limits a collection space (5) for permeate between the casing and the flow channels. According to the invention the flow channels (1) and the said collection space (5) are connected to separate outer circuits, comprising pumps to bring the liquid which is to be filtered (retentate) as well as permeate to circulate concurrently pass the membrane filter. The collection space is filled by filling bodies, which constitute an essential mechanical hinder for the flow of circulating permeate. Means in the form of disks (8) provided with holes, which abut against the outer casing, are arranged at the inlet to the flow channels. These means are arranged to retain the filling bodies in the collection space and distribute the flow of circulating permeate over the same.
Arrangement in membrane filter with one or several tubular flow channels (1) for liquid which is to be treated in the filter, at which the walls of the flow channels on the inside consist of membranes and on the outer side of a supporting structure through which the filtered liquid (permeate) shall pass, at which the flow channels are surrounded by an outer casing (2) which limits a collection space (5) for permeate between the casing and the flow channels, characterized in that the flow channels (1) and the said collection space (5) are connected to separate outer circuits comprising pumps in order to bring the liquid which is to be filtered (retentate) as well as the permeate to circulate concurrently along the membrane filter, that the collection space is filled of filling bodies, which constitute an essential mechanical hinder for the flow of circulating permeate and that means are arranged at least at the inlet to the flow channels, which means have the shape of a disk (8) provided with holes which abuts against the outer casing and retains the filling bodies in the collection space and distributes the flow of circulating permeate over the same.
