A crossflow filtration system including at least one quick dry change
crossflow filtration cartridge designed to rotatably interface with a
manifold assembly. The quick dry change crossflow filtration cartridge
can comprise a membrane element, for example an ultrafiltration membrane,
microfiltration membrane, nanofiltration membrane or reverse osmosis
membrane element enclosed within a housing. The quick dry change
cartridge includes an inlet stream, a permeate stream and a concentrate
stream. The manifold assembly includes three similar flow paths; an inlet
stream, a permeate stream and a concentrate stream. When engaged, the
cartridge and manifold assembly define continuous inlet flow paths,
permeate flow paths and concentrate flow paths that connect across the
interface. Thus, all of the connections to the water filtration system
can be made onto the manifold, and the resulting connected system is
compact and easy to connect.
