1. A banked purification system comprising, in flow series, an inlet for entry of a fluid, a bank of two or more purification columns in which the fluid is purified by a purifying component, and an outlet for discharging the purified fluid, the columns being arranged in parallel such that the fluid from the inlet splits at first ends of the columns into respective streams which flow through the columns and recombine at second ends of the columns for onward travel to the outlet; wherein the columns are extruded columns and have first ports in side walls of the columns at the first ends, the first ports being connected to each other such that the first ends are placed in fluid communication to create a manifold from the first ends of the columns, the fluid flowing sequentially through the first ends with respective portions of the flow splitting away from the sequential flow of the first ends so as to form the streams.
