Abstract
The present invention is directed to contactors, modules, components, systems, and/or methods of manufacture, and/or methods of use including degassing liquids. The contactor or module is integrally potted, has planar, disc shaped end caps, and a cylindrical housing or shell receiving and supporting a membrane structure. Each of the planar disc shaped end caps has a central opening therein adapted to receive a liquid end port or nozzle and is held in place in the housing or shell by at least one retaining element. The integrally potted membrane structure is preferably potted in place in the housing or shell by an inverted potting process involving the use of a removable plunger or plug to recess the potting.
