Water filtering module with hollow fibers
First Claim
1. A module for ultrafiltration or microfiltration of water, using hollow fibers, of the type with filtration from the exterior toward the interior of the fibers, water to be treated being introduced at the top of the module and treated water being collected at the bottom of the module, characterized in that the fibers are disposed inside a casing (3) in multiple bundles (1) in which the top portion of each fiber is free, the casing (3) envelops the bundles to hold them in position, and, at the bottom of the module, each bundle is disposed in a sheath (4) and potted individually, with the bundles then accommodated in a distribution plate (2).

Abstract
The invention concerns a module for ultrafiltration or microfiltration of water comprising hollow fibers, of the type of filtration from outside inwards of the fibers, the water to be treated being introduced at the top of the module and the treated water being collected at the bottom of the module. The fibers are arranged inside a housing (3) in multiple U-shaped bundles (1), the module being vertically arranged in use with the U-shape in the top part of the module. At the bottom of the module, each bundle is arranged in a sheath (4) and individually potted. The sheaths are then urged to be housed in a distribution plate (2), and all the sheaths are interconnected by pouring (in reverse vertically position relative to that of the filtering mode) a so-called potting resin (5).
