ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus and process for the separation of at least a portion of one liquid phase from a mixture of immiscible liquid phases using two porous membranes spaced from one another. Each membrane is wetted only by the one liquid phase to be separated. The mixed phases are pressurized on one side of the first membrane. The one phase to be separated passes through the first membrane into the space between the membranes and then through the second membrane to form a finished stream. Any phase that does not ideally wet the first or second membranes theoretically does not pass through the membranes. However, any such phase that nevertheless does pass through the first membrane, due to operational variations or membrane aging effects, is removed from a space between the membranes and does not effectively contaminate the finished stream.
