Claim Text:
1. A catalytic filter module for gaseous fluids comprising a first set of a block-shaped filter element and a catalytic element having an upstream face and on its opposite side a clean gas face, and a second set of a block-shaped filter element and a catalytic element having an upstream face and on its opposite side a clean gas face, the first and second sets being arranged spaced apart from one another and oriented back-to-back with the clean gas faces of the respective catalytic elements; and a clean gas collecting and discharge arrangement, wherein the first set catalytic element is substantially coextensive with the respective first set filter element, and the second set catalytic element is substantially coextensive with the respective second set filter element; the first set filter element and the second set filter element each having a feed face and on its opposite side a discharge face from which filtrate exits to be received by the upstream face of the respective catalytic element, the gaseous fluid exiting the respective catalytic element as clean gas at the clean gas face thereof opposite to the upstream face, and wherein said clean gas collecting and discharge arrangement comprises a channel extending across all of the clean gas faces of the catalytic elements deflecting and directing clean gas flow transverse to a vertical of the clean gas faces of the catalytic elements to a clean gas discharge opening of the filter module at a side face thereof, said clean gas collecting and discharge arrangement being designed as a common arrangement for the first set and the second set and positioned in between the first and second sets receiving clean gas from the clean gas faces of the catalytic elements of the first and second sets.
