About the product
Our 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors transfer gases to and from compatible liquid streams. In the Transmembrane Chemisorption (TMCS) process. Ammonia gas is stripped from wastewater streams with a high concentration of ammonia, diffuses across the wall of a hollow fiber membrane, and is directly absorbed into a reactive acid solution. This makes simultaneous removal and recovery of ammonia possible in a single device.
Product details
- Can help reduce environmental impact of effluent or discharge water by reducing NH3/NH4-N concentration in wastewater and the release of nitrogen nutrients into the environment.
- Operates in-line under pressure eliminating or reducing the need for transfer pumps or booster pumps after the membrane contactor
- Operates at a lower temperature than steam or air stripping which helps reduce energy consumption
- Compact, small footprint that uses less space enabling systems with Liqui-Cel technology to be containerized and mobile
- Combines two process steps of stripping and scrubbing into a single step
- Array of product options made with acid and caustic resistant materials of construction
- Modular and scalable enabling customers to quickly adapt to capacity changes and scale-up from pilot programs
- Proven, reliable technology that has been used commercially for many years in systems treating hundreds of m3/hr with high inlet ammonia concentrations (>1,000 ppm)
- Enables circular economy by recycling sulfuric acid waste and ammonium nitrogen wastewater
