1. A fluid treatment element comprising:
- a fluid treatment pack including an axis and a fluid treatment medium having a radially inner side and a radially outer side, the fluid treatment pack also including first and second ends, a hollow interior, and a barrier disposed in the hollow interior to separate a blind region from an open region to prevent fluid from flowing between the blind region and the open region, one of the first and second ends being a sealed end, a first fluid flow path extending between the first and second ends of the fluid treatment pack through the open region and in a lengthwise direction along the fluid treatment pack between the radially inner side of the fluid treatment medium and the blind region; and
a second fluid flow path extending through the fluid treatment medium from the first fluid flow path to outside the fluid treatment medium or from outside the fluid treatment medium to the first fluid flow path.

Abstract
A fluid treatment element comprises a fluid treatment pack including a fluid treatment medium. The fluid treatment pack has a hollow interior and a barrier is disposed in the hollow interior. The barrier separates a blind region in which fluid cannot flow between the hollow interior and the fluid treatment pack from an open region in which fluid can flow between the hollow interior and the fluid treatment pack and prevents fluid from flowing between the blind region and the open region. The fluid treatment pack also has an end region having a sealed end. The fluid treatment element defines a flow path for process fluid to be treated passing in a lengthwise direction through a portion of the fluid treatment pack.
