Abstract
A gas vent filter construction is provided that incorporates a hollow fiber membrane assembly as a means for selectively preventing liquid species from escaping from, for example, a substantially closed liquid filtration system, as gas building up therein is vented out of said system through said gas vent filter construction. The gas vent filter construction preferably also comprises a gas-permeable membrane positioned downstream from the hollow fiber membrane assembly. Both single and multiple hollow fiber membranes (preferably, hydrophobic) are considered.
