1. A module, comprising at least one layer having open porosity, the layer having an outer side that faces a medium flowing into the module and an inner side facing away from the inflowing medium, the layer being wound around a permeate tube, the layer being manufactured from a material that can be sintered, the material being selected from a group consisting of metals, metal oxides, metal compounds, and metal alloys, the layer being formed as a pocket and longitudinal sides of the layer being sealed by sintering.2. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is situated in a module housings.3. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is situated on a bearer element.4. The module recited in claim 1, wherein layer is self-supporting.5. The module recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is a film.6. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is thickened along a longitudinal side thereof.7. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein an outer side of the layer is profiled.8. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein a permeate bearer is situated in the pocket.9. The module as recited in claim 8, wherein the permeate bearer is wound around a permeate tube so that the permeate bearer has a circumference approximately 0.2 times to approximately 2 times greater than a circumference of the permeate tube.10. The module as recited in claim 8, wherein the permeate bearer is approximately 2 mm to approximately 50 mm narrower than the layer.11. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one spacing element is situated on an outer side of the layer.12. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is fused to a separating layer.13. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is fashioned as a tube.14. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is made up of a film wrapped to form a tube, the tube having seams that are one of welded and fused.15. The module as recited in claim 8, wherein the layer is fused to the permeate bearer.16. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is fused to the permeate tube.17. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein the layer is held to another of the layers by sintering.18. The module as recited in claim 1, wherein regions of the layer are held to one another by sintering.19. The method for manufacturing a module comprising at least one layer having open porosity, the layer having an outer side that faces a medium flowing into the module and an inner side facing away from the inflowing medium, the layer being manufactured from a material that can be sintered, the material being selected from a group consisting of metals, metal oxides, metal compounds, and metal alloys, the layer being formed as a pocket and longitudinal sides of the layer being sealed by sintering, the process comprising fixing the layer to a module housing and sintering the layer.20. The method as recited in claim 19, wherein the layer is formed from a green product.21. The method as recited in claim 19, further comprising wrapping the layer around a permeate tube.22. The method as recited in claim 19, further comprising forming a thickened area at least partly on an inner side of the layer and along longitudinal sides of the layer.23. The method as recited in claim 19, further comprising laying a permeate bearer into the layer.24. The method as recited in claim 19, further comprising placing a separating layer on an outer side of the layer.25. The method as recited in claim 24, further comprising fusing the layer to the separating layer.26. The method as recited in claim 23, further comprising fusing the layer to the permeate bearer.27. The method as recited in claim 21, further comprising fusing the layer to the permeate tube.
