Zusammenfassung:A coupler (10a, l0b) for a spiral membrane filtration element having a spiral membrane enclosed within a rigid outerwrap includes a center support (12), a plurality of spokes (20) extending outwardly from the center support, a circular rim (22) coupled with the spokes, with the face of the rim being perpendicular to the axis of the overwrap. The rim includes a channel (28) on its face for receiving a compressible seal (25), and a plurality of receptacles (32) around its outer surface for joining two face-to-face adjacent couplers when a pair of aligned keepers (34) is place in each receptacle. Exemplary embodiments of the coupler and filtration elements and filtration assemblies are provided, as well as an associated method.
