A hollow fiber contactor and process for fluid treatment having forced circulation with entry of fluid to be treated through the open ended lumen of a porous input hollow fiber having its opposite end closed and exit of treated fluid through the open ended lumen of an adjacent or nearby porous output hollow fiber having its opposite end closed. Fluid to be treated passes through the porous wall of an input hollow fiber, passes in contact with a treatment medium between the input and output hollow fibers forming treated fluid which passes through the porous wall of an output hollow fiber and exits the process. This invention provides high contact with treatment medium between the hollow fibers, especially suitable for selective sorption for gas purification or separation and for conduct of catalytic reactions.

A process for treatment of fluid in a hollow fiber contactor, comprising: passing fluid to be treated into open ends of lumen of a plurality of input hollow fibers having opposite closed ends and walls porous to said fluid to be treated, each input hollow fiber substantially surrounded by a treatment medium; passing said fluid to be treated through said porous walls of said input hollow fibers and contacting said treatment medium forming treated fluid; passing said treated fluid through the walls of a plurality of output hollow fibers, each output hollow fiber having one open end and an opposite closed end, adjacently spaced from an input hollow fiber and substantially surrounded by said treatment medium, said output hollow fibers having walls porous to said treated fluid within said treatment medium; and collecting treated fluid from open ends of lumen of said output hollow fibers.
