The design of the hollow fiber membrane module uses the fibers in a half loop with the free ends potted in epoxy resin. The loop end is contained in a pressure vessel. Feed solution is introduced around the outside of the hollow fiber. Filtrate passes through the fiber walls and flows up the bore to the open end of the fiber at the epoxy head. Brine is discharged from the opposite end of the pressure vessel. 1, record 3, English, - hollow%20fiber%20membrane%20module

Les modules fibres creuses ont pour avantage leur compacité, leur faible coût à l'achat et à l'entretien et leur faible consommation énergétique. Dans le cas où la séparation est effectuée de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, les modules fibres creuses sont inadaptés aux produits visqueux ou chargés en particules. 1, record 3, French, - module%20fibre%20creuse
