    Abstract: The invention comprises an annular hollow fiber membrane module comprising a plurality of helically wound layers of semi-permeable hollow fibers, wherein the fiber wind angle varies across the axial length of the module in one or more layers. In a preferred embodiment, the module has at least one tubesheet region and an active region, and the wind angle in the tubesheet region of the module differs from the wind angle in the active region of the module. A method of making the module, and a separation module which includes the module described above is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Composite membranes are prepared by depositing a separation layer on an asymmetric support layer. The separation layer has a selectivity equal to or greater than that of the material of the asymmetric support layer for a desired gas separation. The support layer is desirable produced in non-asymmetric form, and exposed to an elevated temperature approaching the glass transition temperature of the support layer material under non-swelling conditions to modify the structure thereof to create asymmetry therein, before or after the deposition of the separation layer, and to increase its compaction resistance and collapse pressure. Such desirable properties are conveniently achieved on a repeatable basis, enhancing the uniformity and reliability of the treated support layer and of composite membranes produced therefrom, for use in gas separation operations.

    Abstract: Composite membranes are prepared by depositing a separation layer on an asymmetric support layer. The separation layer has a selectivity equal to or greater than that of the material of the asymmetric support layer for a desired gas separation. The support layer is desirably produced in non-asymmetric form, and exposed to an elevated temperature approaching the glass transition temperature of the support layer material under non-swelling conditions to modify the structure thereof to create asymmetry therein, before or after the deposition of the separation layer, and to increase its compaction resistance and collapse pressure. Such desirable properties are conveniently achieved on a repeatable basis, enhancing the uniformity and reliability of the treated support layer and of composite membranes produced therefrom, for use in gas separation operations.

    Abstract: A method for producing hollow fiber permeable devices having an essentially leak-free seal between the hollow fibers and the tubesheet that consists of heating the tubesheet containing the hollow fibers potted therein at a temperature essentially equal to or greater than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic material or the softening point of the thermoset material of the hollow fiber for a period of time sufficient to essentially densify the hollow fibers in the potted portion of the tubesheet and whereby a major portion of the interior diameter of the bores of the hollow fibers embedded in the tubesheet is enlarged; and the fiber permeable devices themselves.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a composite membrane includes coating a substrate, such as, for example, an asymmetrical porous hollow fiber substrate, with a solution which includes a perfluorinated polymer and a perfluorinated solvent. Prior to coating, the substrate is impregnated with an impregnation fluid which is immiscible with the perfluorinated solvent. The method of the invention further includes removing the perfluorinated solvent and the impregnation fluid. A composite membrane includes a porous asymmetric hollow fiber substrate having an outer surface coated with a perfluoropolymer coating. Separation devices which include composite membranes and methods of separating a fluid mixture into a fraction enriched in a first component and a fraction depleted in that component also are described.

    Abstract: The invention involves annular hollow fiber membrane bundle comprising a plurality of helically wound layers of semi-permeable hollow fibers helically wound thereon and at least one reinforcement filament which has been helically wound concurrently with said hollow fibers into the hollow fiber membrane bundle. A preferred embodiment provides that the reinforcement filament is uniformly distributed throughout the diameter of the bundle and/or across the axial length of the bundle. Though, other embodiments provide a non-uniform distribution throughout the diameter of the bundle and/or across the axial length of the bundle.
