07-52-0418A PERMEATOR APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An end closure is disclosed wherein a single end closure cap can be in a fluid-tight relationship with both an external container and at least one internal container. The at least one internal container is moveably positioned within the external container, and a resilient means cooperates between the internal container and the external container such that the internal container contacts the end closure cap to provide the desired fluid-tight relationship. A particularly attractive use of the end closure is to provide permeators containing hollow fiber membranes suitable for the selective permeation of at least one fluid in a fluid mixture in which the tube sheet is in a fluid-tight relationship in the permeator such that fluid communication between the shell side and bore side of the hollow fiber membranes is only through the walls of the hollow fibers. In these permeators, a resilient means cooperates between a tubular shell containing the hollow fiber membranes and at least one tube sheet through which bores of the hollow fiber membranes communicate wherein a force directing the tube sheet longitudinally outward from the shell is provided. An end closure cap is adapted to be removably fastened to the end of the shell proximate to the tube sheet. A first sealing means is positioned between the end closure cap and the shell to provide an essentially fluid- tight relationship, and a second sealing means is positioned between the end closure cap and the tube sheet wherein the resilient means provides a sufficient force on the tube sheet that the second sealing means provides an essentially fluid- tight seal.
