Abstract
A membrane air drier (20) utilizes an orifice (52) to serve as the sweep air inlet with a sweep diffuser (53) placed a short distance from the orifice (52). Preferably, an open channel (50) extends from the product end of the membrane module on the shell side (21) of hollow fibers (24) with porous diffuser (53) at one end of the open channel (50) and the orifice (52) at the other end of the channel (50).

Process for separating fluids and apparatus

C Skarstrom, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous process is provided for separating key components from mixed fluids, where a mixed fluid feed including a key component, at a preselected initial relatively high pressure is passed through a single or a series of hollow tube(s), the walls of which are selectively permeable to the key components of the mixed feed.
