ABSTRACT:
A self-supported low pressure drop hollow fiber membrane panel includes a pair of layers of non-permeable material having opposite external and internal sides, and a multiplicity of hollow fibers of permeable material extending between and in generally transverse relationship to the layers of non-permeable material. Opposite end portions of the hollow fibers are encapsulated by the respective layers of non-permeable material and are open at the external sides thereof. Elongated portions of the hollow fibers have elongated internal bores providing flow communication between the open opposite end portions of the hollow fibers. The elongated portions of the hollow fibers extend between the internal sides of the respective layers of non-permeable material. The lengths of the elongated portions of the hollow fibers are substantially less than each of the length and width dimensions of the layers of non-permeable material. A contactor module for gas-gas, gas-liquid and liquid-liquid mass transfer systems employs the hollow fiber membrane panel.
