Generally, this type of hollow separation membrane module has a first
It is configured as shown in the figure. In the figure, A is the main body, which has a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of separation membrane tubes B are inserted into the main body A. These separation membrane tubes B are made of a gas-permeable material such as silicone rubber and have a hollow cylindrical shape. The outer circumferential surface of the end of these separation membrane tubes B- and the inner surface of the end of the main body A are firmly sealed with resin or the like to form terminal sealed portions C, C, and both ends of the separation membrane tube B... The end face of this main body A is opened. A space D is formed between the outer peripheral surface of these separation membrane tubes B and the inner surface of the main body A, and a permeation nozzle E is formed in the peripheral wall of the main body A. It communicates with D. Then, the gas to be separated is supplied into the separation membrane tubes B from one end at a predetermined pressure, passes through these separation membrane tubes B, and is separated, and the separated gas passes through the space D to the permeation nozzle. The remaining gas flows out from the other end of the separation membrane tube B. Incidentally, in such a hollow separation membrane module, the fluid permeability varies depending on the inner diameter and length of the separation membrane tube, and an error occurs with respect to the designed value. For this reason, in the past, parts that exceeded tolerances were remade, but this resulted in problems such as a lot of wasted material and increased manufacturing costs. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a method can be considered in which the hollow separation membrane module is manufactured with more separation membrane tubes than the designed number, and both ends of the unnecessary separation membrane tubes are closed to adjust the amount of fluid permeation. However, since a hollow separation membrane module is usually composed of several thousand to tens of thousands of separation membrane tubes, it is extremely difficult to block only both ends of unnecessary separation membrane tubes from among these many separation membrane tubes. .

The present invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 6. In Figure 2, number 1
1 is a main body of a hollow separation membrane module, and this main body 1 has a cylindrical shape with both ends open, and both ends are enlarged in diameter. Furthermore, connection flanges 2, 2 are formed at both end edges of the main body 1, respectively. A plurality of separation membrane tubes 3 are inserted into the main body 1. These separation membrane tubes 3 are made of a gas permeable material such as silicone rubber, polyethylene, porous cellulose acetate, porous ethyl cellulose, 4-methylpentane, polybutadiene, acron, polyester, etc., and have a hollow tube shape with a small diameter. Resin is filled between the inner surfaces of both ends of the main body 1 and the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends of the separation membrane tubes 3 to close both ends of the main body 1 and bury the ends of the separation membrane tubes 3. The terminals are sealed to form terminal sealed portions 4, 4. Both ends of the separation membrane tubes 3 are opened at the end faces of these terminal sealing parts 4, 4, respectively. A space 5 is formed between the outer peripheral surface of these separation membrane tubes 3 and the inner surface of the main body 1, and a permeation nozzle 6 is formed on the peripheral wall of the main body 1.
is formed, and this transmission nozzle 6 communicates with the space 5. Next, a method for adjusting the amount of fluid permeation through such a hollow separation membrane module will be described. Note that the hollow separation membrane module in this case is composed of a large number of separation membrane tubes (several thousand to tens of thousands) larger than the designed number so that the amount of fluid permeation is greater than the designed value. Therefore, when adjusting the fluid permeation rate of such a hollow separation membrane module, first attach the flange member 8 having the supply nozzle 7 to one end of the main body 1 as shown in FIG. A flange member 10 having a discharge nozzle 9 is attached to. Further, a flow meter 11 is connected to the permeation nozzle 6, and a stop valve 12 is connected to the discharge nozzle 9. Then, the stop valve 12 is closed, and gas is supplied from the supply nozzle 7 into the separation membrane tubes 3 at a predetermined pressure. Then, the flow rate of the gas passing through these separation membrane tubes 3 and flowing out from the permeation nozzle 6 is measured by the flow meter 11, and the amount of permeation through the hollow membrane separation module is determined. Then, find the difference between this permeation amount and the design permeation amount, divide this difference in permeation amount by the permeation amount per separation membrane tube 3, and find the number of separation membrane tubes 3 corresponding to this difference. . Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the flange member 8 on the supply side is removed, and a vacuum pump 13 is connected to the permeation nozzle 6 to create a negative pressure in the space 5. Then, uncured adhesive 14 is applied to the openings of the number of separation membrane tubes 3 determined above. Then, the gas inside these separation membrane tubes 3 is permeated and sucked into the space 5, so that
Due to this negative pressure, the adhesive 14 is applied to the separation membrane tube 3...
is suction filled into the end of the Then, the adhesive 14 is left in this state for a certain period of time to harden and one end of the separation membrane tube 3 is closed. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the flange member 10 and vacuum pump 13 on the discharge side are removed, and uncured adhesive 15 is applied to the entire end surface of the terminal sealing part 4 on the discharge side while being pressed. Fill the discharge side end of 3 with this adhesive. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the supply end flange member 8 of the main body 1 is attached, and fluid is supplied from the supply nozzle 7 at a predetermined pressure. Therefore, this fluid pressure is supplied to the inside of the separation membrane tubes 3 other than the predetermined number of separation membrane tubes 3 whose supply side ends have already been closed with the adhesive 14, and this fluid pressure The uncured adhesive 15 in the discharge end is then pushed out and removed. Then, the adhesive 15a remaining in the discharge side end of the separation membrane tube 3 is cured by leaving it in this state for a certain period of time. Therefore, both ends of the separation membrane tubes 3, the number of which corresponds to the difference between the initially determined permeation amount and the designed permeation amount, are closed with adhesives 14 and 15a, and these separation membrane tubes 3... Therefore, the amount of transmission corresponding to the designed amount of transmission can be obtained. Next, the flange members 8 and 10 are attached to both ends of the main body 1, and the amount of permeation is measured in the same manner as described above. After confirming that this is within the tolerance of the designed amount of permeation, the process is completed.

In this manner, one end of the separation membrane tube 3 to be closed is filled with the uncured adhesive 14 while the space 5 in the main body 1 is under negative pressure, and the filled adhesive 14 is cured. After that, the other ends of all the separation membrane tubes 3 housed in the main body 1 are filled with uncured adhesive 14, and the adhesive 14 filled in the other ends of all the separation membrane tubes 3 is uncured. By supplying fluid under pressure to one end of the main body 1 where the adhesive 14 has been cured, the uncured adhesive 14 filled in the other end of the separation membrane tube 3 closes the separation membrane tube to be closed. Since all parts except the membrane are pushed out by the pressurized fluid, only both ends of the separation membrane tube to be closed can be closed with the adhesive. Therefore, the fluid permeation amount of the hollow separation membrane module can be accurately adjusted to the designed value.
