Abstract:
A thermoplastic blended potting resin, a blended resin potted membrane, a membrane separation module, a fluid separation device, a method of making and a method of using the membrane separation module and the fluid separation device are described herein. The blended thermoplastic potting resin comprises at least one polar membrane having two end regions and a middle region; and a blended resin comprising a non-polar thermoplastic polymer and a polar thermoplastic polymer; wherein at least one of the two ends regions is coated with the blended potting resin to form a fluid-tight seal between the end regions and the open middle region, and wherein the polar thermoplastic polymer is 1% or greater by weight of blended resin.

Claim (Index 16):
A fluid separation device, comprising:\n a housing having:\n a first end and a second end; \n a separation element contained within the housing to divide the interior of the housing into first and second volumes, the separation element comprising the membrane separation module of  claim 13  and a series of flow passages upstream and downstream of said membrane module, and wherein the membrane module is bonded to the housing by the blended resin; \n a first connector at the first end for introducing a fluid feed to the interior of the housing; \n a second connector for removing a permeate from the interior of the housing; \n a central conduit attached to the first connector and extending longitudinally within the housing to the second end so as direct all of the flow between the first connector and the second end;\n wherein the second end is in fluid communication with the first volume, \n wherein the second volume is in fluid communication with the second connector, and \n wherein a fluid fed into the first connector is processed by the separation element to form the permeate collected and removed by the second connector.
