Abstract

There is disclosed a filtration unit for the selective separation of substances from fluids by membrane adsorbers, comprising a plurality of filtration chambers arranged in parallel and using membrane adsorber packs having a variable number of porous laminar sections, and wherein at each membrane adsorber pack, the same pressure drop is maintained between feed and permeate.
