Abstract
The present invention provides methods for producing single and multi-layered coiled hollow fiber bundles for use in separation modules whose performance can be predicted, said modules being designed to take advantage of the benefits of Dean vortices. The present invention is also directed to multi-layered coiled hollow fiber bundles for use in separation modules that are directly scalable because each layer performs substantially equivalently to the other layers when subjected to a fluid of a certain velocity such that Dean vortices are created.
