This study shows that the permeate flux m rmcrof&rat~on can be Increased without increasing energy consumption, by using the hollow fiber membranes themselves as turbulence promoters This 1s realized by using shell-side fed hollow fibers, which are placed perpenchcular to the feed stream This module type IS called the transversal flow module The theoretical benefits of such a module have been calculated by applying the model proposed by Zydney and Colton to predict the permeate flux Furthermore the technical realization of a module with a filtering area of 0 5 m* as well as the first prehrmnary microfiltration results will be discussed
