Hollow Fiber Membrane Gas Separation Cartridge And Gas Purification Assembly

US Patent:
6814780, Nov 9, 2004
Filed:
May 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/846233
Inventors:
Benjamin Bikson - Brookline MA
Scott Andrew Bartholomew - Worcester MA
Salvatore Giglia - Norwood MA
Bradley Quinn Johnson - Lakeville MA
Assignee:
LAir Liquide, Societe Anonyme A Directoire et Conseil de Surveillance Pour LEtude et LExploitation des Procedes Georges Claude - Paris
International Classification:
B01D 5322
US Classification:
95 51, 95 52, 95 54, 95 55, 96 8, 96 10, 96 13
Abstract:
A hollow fiber membrane gas separation apparatus of a compact design suitable for separation and purification of gases is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an outer housing that consists of a detachable bowl and a head closure, and a removable hollow fiber membrane cartridge positioned therein. The cartridge contains a concentric tubular inner core member and is surrounded by a shell and at least one end closure. The cartridge is attached by its first axial end in a sealed and removable manner to a gas flow conduit positioned coaxially in the housing closure wherein the conduit is in fluid communication with a gas inlet or product gas outlet port formed in the housing head closure and by its second axial end to a waste gas exit port in the bowl. The feed gas inlet port and the product gas outlet port in the head closure are spaced in a straight line for a short overall distance providing for a linear connection with other components of a gas separation system, which is a preferred system component packaging.

Integral Hollow Fiber Membrane Gas Dryer And Filtration Device

US Patent:
6776820, Aug 17, 2004
Filed:
Jul 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/900881
Inventors:
Benjamin Bikson - Brookline MA

Assignee:
Praxair Technology, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
B01D 5322
US Classification:
95 52, 95273, 96 8
Abstract:
An integral hollow fiber membrane gas purification apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more filtration elements and a hollow fiber membrane cartridge placed coaxially in a common housing.
