Abstract: A piece of substrate material is formed under heat and pressure against a cavity into a shaped substrate sheet having one or more depressions. Two substrate sheets are bonded together to form a substrate wherein the one or more depressions form one or more interior channels. The substrate, if not formed with pre-coated substrate material, is coated with a dope and quenched to form a filtering membrane. A plurality of membranes may be placed side by side to form a bundle with permeating ends of the membrane, which are open to the one or more interior channels, separated by gaps or spacers. The bundle is connected to a header to produce a module. The module can be assembled into a cassette.

Abstract: A membrane is made with a supporting structure having two or more layers. One layer is embedded in the membrane wall. Another layer generally abuts the membrane wall, preferably on the permeate side of the membrane wall. These two layers are preferably bonded together. The membrane may be, for example, a tubular membrane. Optionally, the membrane may be made of materials able to work at a temperature of 80 degrees C. or more.
