Method Of Fabrication Of Coreless Hollow Filament Separatory Module

US Patent:
4351092, Sep 28, 1982
Filed:
Jun 28, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/052747
Inventors:
Robert E. Sebring - Westwood MA
Myron J. Coplan - Natick MA
Assignee:
Albany International Corp. - Menands NY
International Classification:
B01D 1304, B65H 5464
US Classification:
28100
Abstract:
The method of fabricating a coreless hollow filament bundle of interlaced hollow filaments to be used as the membrane elements in a separatory module comprising the steps of providing first and second axially spaced co-axially rotatable engagement members carrying filament receiving arms, concomitantly rotating said rotatable engagement members while alternately engaging filaments upon a respective filament receiving arm of one rotary member, causing said filament to traverse the space between said first rotary member and the second rotary member and engaging said filament upon a receiving arm of said second rotary member, and continuously feeding said filament between said receiving arms of said rotary members so as to provide a coreless bundle of filaments interlacing with one another in left and right hand helices at angles to the common axis of rotation of the two rotary members.

Hollow Filament Separatory Module And Method Of Fabrication

US Patent:
4207192, Jun 10, 1980
Filed:
Sep 19, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/943738
Inventors:
Myron J. Coplan - Natick MA
Robert D. Burchesky - Dedham MA
Robert E. Sebring - Westwood MA
Assignee:
Albany International Corp. - Menands NY
International Classification:
B01D 1300
US Classification:
210321R
Abstract:
A hollow filament separatory module utilizing an annulus of semi-permeable hollow filaments with open ends encased in a potting compound and a collection chamber communicating with said open ends adjacent the potting compound with access surface means formed in the potting compound wherein the open ends appear, the sum of the area of said access surface means when projected upon a plane perpendicular to the direction of internal pressure forces against the potting compound being less than 50% of the cross-section of the non access portions of said compound parallel to said plane.

Inventors:
Robert E. Sebring - Westwood MA
Assignee:
Albany International Corp. - Menands NY
International Classification:
B23P 1700
US Classification:

Multiple Bundle Separatory Module

US Patent:
4632756, Dec 30, 1986
Filed:
Oct 26, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/665090
Inventors:
Myron J. Coplan - Natick MA
Friedhelm Bilewski - Medway MA
Robert Sebring - Westwood MA
Daniel K. Schiffer - Neenah WI
Assignee:
Albany International Corp. - Menands NY
International Classification:
B01D 1300
US Classification:
2103232
Abstract:
A separatory module is disclosed with a cylindrical shell and two ends. Within the shell there are several fiber bundles extending in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shell for separating permeates from a fluid. Each bundle is supported by one of the ends. The permeate as well as the remaining concentrates may be collected from either end.
