3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors

Degassing liquid with 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors is common in the production of ultra-pure water to achieve the extremely low O₂ and CO₂ levels required by today’s semiconductor and flat panel display plants. Low O₂ levels help protect product yield and low CO₂ levels help maximise the efficiency of electrodeionization and ion exchange processes.

3M™ Liqui-Cel™ membrane contactors also enable precision control of the dissolved gases in ultra-pure water and other compatible wet bench processes fluids.

There are many applications in the beverage industry that require the addition or removal of O₂, CO₂, nitrogen, and alcohol compounds.

3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors are the ideal technology solution capable of handling the multiple gas removal and gas addition requirements in the beverage industry.

Power plants generating steam balance cost, efficiency and reliability with environmental considerations while supplying energy to the world. Degassing water systems plays a critical role in the process that generates the energy used to heat and cool homes and businesses while protecting vital capital equipment. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors remove dissolved O₂, CO₂, and volatile gases to industry-leading levels at low temperature and without requiring steam. With their chemical-free membrane technology, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors can help enhance the performance of water treatment systems and reduce the risk of downtime. They offer a cost-effective, easy-to-use and efficient gas removal solution for power plants and other plants with boiler water systems for producing steam.

3M brings its proven reliability and performance to refineries, offshore platforms, FPSOs (floating production storage and offloading) and other areas in the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas customers are quickly learning about and adopting membrane gas transfer technology to take advantage of the same benefits that other industries have been realising for years. Common gas removal applications include boiler feedwater deoxygenation, CO₂ removal in ion exchange, and water flooding in offshore environments.
