Fluid treatment assemblies may include first and second end pieces, at least one fluid treatment unit positioned between the first and second end pieces, and a retainer extending between the first and second end pieces and arranged to press the fluid treatment unit(s) and the first and second end pieces together. Each of the end pieces is formed from a nonmetallic material and has a flexural modulus of at least about 1.5&#xd7;10psi.

Fluid treatment assemblies

A fluid treatment assembly comprises one or more cross flow fluid treatment units positioned between opposite end pieces. The fluid treatment unit includes a permeable fluid treatment medium having a feed side and a permeate side. The fluid treatment assembly further comprises a feed inlet and feed passage, a permeate outlet and a permeate passage, and a retentate outlet and a retentate passage. The feed passage directs feed fluid from the feed inlet to the permeable medium and tangentially along the feed side of the permeable medium. The permeate passage directs permeate from the permeate side of the permeable medium to the permeate outlet. The retentate passage directs retentate from the feed side of the permeable medium to the retentate outlet. A flow restrictor is positioned in the retentate passage.

Fluid treatment assemblies, manifolds for fluid treatment assemblies, and methods for treating fluids

A manifold plate and a filtration arrangement including a manifold plate which comprises a body having a mounting region on the exterior of the body and first and second fluid channels extending within the body. The mounting region has at least one first opening and at least one second opening. At least one first fluid passageway fluidly couples the first opening to the first fluid channel and at least one second passageway fluidly couples the second opening to the second fluid channel. One or more filtration units may be mounted to the mounting region in fluid communication with the first and second openings of the manifold plate.
