More Information
Summary:The permeate collectors of a set of membrane filter elements are connected in line to form a vertical permeate collection pipe serving the set of elements. The connectors between adjacent elements are configured to allow a disconnected element to move perpendicular to the permeate collectors. When an element is disconnected, it may slide horizontally out of the frame. A connector has a spigot that spans between two sockets when connected. In a membrane assembly, each socket is associated with a permeate collector of a membrane filter element. To disconnect the sockets, the spigot is retracted further into one of the sockets until it is spaced apart from the other socket. With the spigot retracted, one membrane element may move relative to the other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the spigot.
