Abstract:
A method of operating a high velocity cross flow dynamic membrane filtration includes feeding a fluid stream into a pressure vessel, in which the vessel defines a treatment chamber containing a disc membrane assembly having a first support shaft and a second support shaft, each support shaft defining a longitudinal axis about which is positioned a plurality of axially spaced membrane discs. The method further includes distributing the fluid stream over at least a portion of the disc membrane assembly. The method also includes discharging a first portion of the fluid stream from the vessel and discharging a second portion of the fluid stream from the vessel. The method additionally includes rotating the first support shaft and the second support shaft in a first direction. The rotating includes modulating a rotation rate in response to the flow rate of the second portion of the fluid stream.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the disc membrane assembly includes a frame having first and second end members and a plurality of rails extending between the first and second end members, the plurality of rails oriented generally parallel to the first and second support shafts, and wherein the vessel further includes a plurality of mounting rails affixed to a vessel interior, each mounting rail configured to receive a rail of the frame, the method further comprising\n ceasing the distributing, discharging, and rotating steps; sliding the disc membrane assembly out of the treatment chamber, the sliding including translating each rail of the plurality of rails along an associated mounting rail of the plurality of mounting rails; sliding another disc membrane assembly into the treatment chamber, the another disc membrane assembly having a frame with first and second end members and a plurality of rails extending between the first and second end members; and resuming the distributing, discharging, and rotating steps.
