Abstract
A fluid separation module is provided. The module comprises a monolithic core having a first set of passages extending from a feed end to a retentate end. The first set of passages has a specific cross-sectional area. A second set of passages are positioned in a non-parallel relationship to the first set of passages for passage of a permeate. Additionally, the fluid separation module has at least one transducer affixed to the monolithic core. The fluid separation module of the present invention may be used for macrofiltration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis.
