Summary:The invention relates to a filter module comprising a plurality of essentially parallel tubular membranes, the tubular membranes comprising a porous tube wall that functions as a filtering membrane, wherein the module comprises a support structure for supporting the tubular membranes, the support structure comprising an open three-dimensional network of stable shape consisting of stiff wires or fibres, the support structure being shaped such that it comprises open parallel tubes or parts of tubes that envelope each of the tubular membranes at least partly over at least a part of its length, in such a way that a tube or part of a tube of the support structure supports at least one tubular membrane. L'invention concerne un module de filtre comprenant une pluralité de membranes tubulaires essentiellement parallèles, lesdites membranes tubulaires comprenant une paroi de tube poreux qui sert de membrane filtrante. Le module comprend une structure de support qui soutient les membranes tubulaires, cette structure de support comprenant un réseau tridimensionnel ouvert de forme stable, constitué de fils métalliques ou de fibres rigides, ladite structure de support étant façonnée de manière à comprendre des tubes parallèles ouverts ou des parties de tubes ouvertes qui enveloppent chaque membrane tubulaire au moins partiellement sur au moins une partie de sa longueur, de sorte qu'un tube ou une partie de tube de la structure de support maintient au moins une membrane tubulaire.
