A honeycomb body having a cutout, an assembly including the honeycomb body, and a method of manufacturing. The method includes forming the honeycomb body having a matrix of intersecting walls that define a plurality of cells and channels extending longitudinally through the honeycomb body. A subset of the channels are plugged to create a plurality of plugged cells in a reinforcement region of the honeycomb body. Material is removed from the honeycomb body within the reinforcement region in accordance with a peripheral shape that passes through the plugged cells to form a cutout that extends an axial depth into the honeycomb body.

A pervaporation element includes a ceramic monolith having an array of parallel channels separated by porous channel walls extending along an axial length of the monolith, and a functional membrane coating a first plurality of the porous channel walls along the axial length of the monolith. The functional membrane functions to separate a fluid into a retentate portion and a permeate portion. The porous channel walls coated by the functional membrane define a plurality of discrete through segments, where each of the discrete through segments are separated from one another by a plurality of uncoated porous channel walls. Fluid entering the discrete through segments is separated into a retentate portion that exits in substantial portion through the discrete through segments and a permeate portion that exits the ceramic monolith radially outward through the uncoated porous channel walls and through a skin of the monolith.
