A module enabling individual adaptation by the user to the respective task in the treatment of fluids using housings and connections of existing filtration devices without any modification is described. The module comprises one or more cells stacked one on top of the other, each of these having at least one opening, the opening of the cell or the similar openings of the cells together forming at least one channel for feeding or discharging the fluid to be treated. Each cell has two flat, porous components delimiting an inner space and designed for passage of the fluid therethrough, the inner space or spaces being connected to the channel. The inner space of the cell or cells contains at least partially a treatment material for the fluid. The method for manufacturing such a module makes provision for a treatment material to be introduced with a carrier fluid into the cells through the channel provided for feeding the fluid.

Method for manufacturing a module for treating a fluid

A module filter has a container with an admission for a non-filtrate and a discharge for the filtrate. A filter module is arranged in the container and has several stacked, disc-shaped filter cells of filter material having an inner space. The filter cells have central openings forming a central channel connected with the inner space. The central channel is connected to the admission. The container has a space surrounding the filter cells and connected with the filtrate discharge. Circular disc-shaped drainage support bodies are arranged between the filter cells and extend approximately over the entire surface area of the filter cells. The drainage support bodies have drainage channels that extend toward their outer rim. The drainage support bodies have projections projecting axially away from the drainage support bodies and extending radially. Between the projections intermediate spaces are defined which form the drainage channels and remove the filtrate.
