The hydrophilicity of porous separation membranes is maintained by bonding the membranes to thermoplastic fiber substrates at least on their peripheries before the membrane peripheries are sealed in a thermoplastic resin. The membranes are capable of being integrity tested.

Integrity testable filtration unit using supported hydrophilic porous membranes

There is disclosed a filtration unit for the selective separation of substances from fluids by membrane adsorbers, comprising a plurality of filtration chambers arranged in parallel and using membrane adsorber packs having a variable number of porous laminar sections, and wherein at each membrane adsorber pack, the same pressure drop is maintained between feed and permeate.

Membrane adsorber filter module

A process for the immobilization of a linear polymer, in particular a polyionenes, which is soluble in an aqueous solvent, on a chemically inert carrier material and a matrix having an antimicrobial effect are provided, which are suitable for, in particularly intracorporeally applied, medical appliances and in the form of microporous membranes as filters for water purification or, in the form of beads, as a surface disinfectant. The process is characterized in that the two terminal reactive groups of the linear polymer are reacted with an excess of an alpha, omega-bifunctional compound, the reaction product obtained is dissolved in a hydrophilic solvent and applied at least once to the carrier material and then cross-linked with a cross-linking agent dissolved in a hydrophobic solvent which is chemically inert to the cross-linking agent and the carrier material.
