interconnects multiple filter capsules without the need for external manifold piping for example as shown in fig9 feed 91 and 91 u2032 and permeate 92 and 92 u2032 fluid transfer devices can be integrated in two co axial orientations 94 and 93 respectively with a common plane 95 this embodiment improves the connection methods within an existing assembly and the assembly of capsules can be slid into and out of place from any perpendicular axis for example 96 to the axis of the flow stream 97 in a parallel configuration of capsule filters upstream feeds 94 are connected together producing a common feed line as shown in fig8 c before processing and during the installation of the filters into the users system all the fluid transfer devices remain closed shown as black out a user desiring a parallel configuration of filters would assembly them as shown in fig8 c a user may choose a parallel configuration to improve the overall filtrate capacity of the process or achieve other process improvements during installation the single feed will connect to the fluid transfer device v 1a and the user 39 s single filtrate permeate will connect to the fluid transfer device v 3b to the user 39 s permeate line during processing the fluid transfer devices are opened shown as white out such that the intended filtrate will flow through v 1a across the left filter surface as well as flow out v 4a and into the second filter via v 1b in fluid communication with v 4a once the intended filtrate fills the upstream volume before the filter surface the filtrate will flow across both filter surfaces and exit the two capsules the two fluid transfer devices v 2a and v 4b remain closed shown as black out in this configuration.
