Abstract
The system comprises a number of membrane modules (21), each one containing one or a bundle of several membrane tubules. The membrane modules (21) are connected on behind the other in series (passes) (43 to 48), which lie in horizontal planes. Several series (passes) (43 to 48) lie vertically on top of each other. Vertically extending collection lines (261, 49, 271) are arranged for the supply to, or respectively the removal of the medium to be filtered from the series (passes) (43 to 48). The arrangement offers a particularly simple assembly.
