Ceramic film assembly

The present invention provides a membrane module for multiple single-tube ceramic membranes. The membrane module having a tubular housing, a first housing cover and a second housing cover, support bar, sealing discs, a plurality of single-tube ceramic membranes and a variety of seals and sealing means such as o-rings. The tubular housing has cover plates respectively coupled to opposing ends of the tubular housing. Typically, the cover plates are permanently attached to the tubular housing. The plurality of single-tube ceramic membranes are housed inside the tubular housing and are held securely and substantially parallel to the tubular housing by the cover plates and sealing discs. The first housing cover further comprises an inlet for fluid to be filtered to be pumped into the membrane module.
