More Information
Summary:A filtration apparatus includes plurality of membrane modules arranged in series in a chamber. The membrane modules include at least one lead membrane module closer to an inlet port than the remaining membrane modules. A device coupled to the permeate collection conduit of the at least one lead membrane module is configured to apply a back pressure to permeate solution flowing in the permeate collection conduit of the at least one lead membrane module. By applying a back pressure, flux imbalance may be reduced within the apparatus.
