  • Compact cross-flow contactor
    Patent number: 10729991
    Abstract: A membrane contactor for degassing a gas-entrained liquid and to discharge gas-depleted liquid includes: a shell has two ends; a cap closes one shell end; a membrane extends between the shell ends and is enclosed within the shell; a first center tube discharges the gas-entrained liquid into the membrane; a second center tube discharges the gas-depleted liquid from the contactor; and one tube surrounds the other tube. The membrane may be a flat sheet membrane or a hollow fiber membrane. The cap has an in let in fluid communication with the first center tube and an outlet in fluid communication with the second center tube. A baffle may be located within the membrane between the shell ends.
