1. A container comprising:
- a first wall comprised of a polymeric material;
a second wall comprised of a polymeric material; and
a plurality of elongated baffles, spacers or seam lines formed between the first wall and the second wall and securing together the first wall and the second wall along a majority of a length of the first wall and the second wall so as to form a plurality of separate, elongated fluid flow paths, each of the plurality of fluid flow paths being separated from the other fluid flow paths by at least one of the baffles, spacers or seam lines, each of the plurality of fluid flow paths having a first end in fluid communication with an inlet and having a second end in fluid communication with an outlet.

Abstract
A container includes a first wall made of a polymeric material, a second wall made of a polymeric material, and a plurality of elongated baffles, spacers or seam lines formed between the first wall and the second wall to form a plurality of separate fluid flow paths. Each of the plurality of fluid flow paths are separated from the other fluid flow paths by at least one of the baffles, spacers or seam lines. Each of the plurality of fluid flow paths have a first end in fluid communication with an inlet and have a second end in fluid communication with an outlet.

11. A system for processing a fluid, the system comprising:
-
a container having an inlet and an outlet with a first fluid flow path extending therebetween, the container being comprised of a polymeric first wall and an opposing polymeric second wall with the first fluid path being bounded between the first wall and the second wall; a support surface and an adjacently disposed retention plate, the container being sandwiched between the support surface and the retention plate; and a fluid flowing through the first fluid flow path independent of the support surface and the retention plate, the container outwardly flexing because of the flowing fluid to push directly against the support surface and the retention plate while the support surface is held stationary relative to the retention plate. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
