Advanced dissolved gas control products
Efficient dissolved gas control in a compact design
Dissolved gas control is a critical step in making the ultrapure water that microelectronics manufacturing and many other industries rely on. It can be used for deoxygenating industrial process water or adding carbonation to beverages. It can even remove ammonia from waste water, enabling the recovery of valuable resources. Whatever your industry’s dissolved gas control needs may be, there is a 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactor solution from Solventum.
You can improve your operating efficiency and performance, while protecting the quality of your product, with Liqui-Cel membrane contactors. They feature hollow fibre membrane technology in their compact design and deliver efficient dissolved gas control. Whether you need to add gases to or remove dissolved gases and bubbles from compatible liquid streams, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can help.
Importantly, you may have dissolved gas control needs at different points in the chain of complex filtration and purification processes in your production line. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can be integrated where you need them. And they’re compatible with the other filtration and purification solutions Solventum offers. Let our technical experts work with you to optimise your entire process.
Discover the science within
Managing dissolved gases in your process depends on state-of-the-art technology. The distinctive internal design of 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors ensures highly efficient, chemical-free dissolved gas control. Explore the technology inside Liqui-Cel membrane contactors.
Elevate the efficiency of your dissolved gas control process
Many industries have been turning away from older technologies for dissolved gas control in the liquids they use, in favour of the efficiencies and compact design of 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors. For over 20 years, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors have displaced vacuum towers, forced draft deaerators and oxygen scavengers around the world. Let the experts at Solventum help you integrate our solutions into your liquid purification and filtration processes.
Microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing
You need ultrapure water for your operation, and Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can help provide it. They remove oxygen and carbon dioxide to very low levels to protect product yield and maximise the efficiency of electrode ionisation and ion exchange processes. You get precision control of electrodeionisation and dissolved gases, not only for ultrapure water, but also for all your compatible wet bench process fluids.
Power and steam generation
With increasing demand for power, the pressures on your operations for efficiency and output are greater than ever. Before water can be used in process, dissolved gases must be removed along with other contaminants. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and other filtration solutions from Solventum can preserve your efficiency and performance.
Beverage production
Some beverages need dissolved gases removed, while others require them to be added. When you choose Liqui-Cel membrane contactors, you get the versatile, compact, in-line solution you need. They deliver rapid and precise deoxygenation, decarbonation, carbonation or nitrogenation. They can also help you adjust alcohol with low impact on flavour and aroma — all with an eye to efficiency, consistency and product quality.
Oil and gas production and refinement
Dissolved gas control is vital to your organisation to protect equipment and meet environmental regulations. From boiler feed water deoxygenation and oil washing, to enhancing water flooding in offshore operations, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors from Solventum can save space, expand to changing capacity and even reduce installation and transportation costs.
