Abstract

Fluid treatment arrangements and methods for making and using fluid treatment arrangements are disclosed. A ribbon including a permeable fluid treatment medium may be spirally wound in a plurality of windings to form a fluid treatment element having a disk-shaped body. The disk-shaped body may include opposite end surfaces, an inner rim, and an outer rim. Up to one hundred or more fluid treatment elements may be positioned along a core assembly, and a surround may be positioned around the fluid treatment elements. The fluid treatment elements may be sealed to the core assembly with the inner rims covering openings in the core assembly, or the fluid treatment elements may be sealed to the surround with the outer rims covering openings in the surround. A fluid treatment arrangement may be contained in a housing to form a fluid treatment assembly. The housing may include an inlet port and an outlet port and may define a fluid flow path between the inlet port and the outlet port. The fluid treatment arrangement may be positioned in the housing across the fluid flow path.
