Ammonia captured, flexibility unlocked

Transform ammonia abatement with TransMembrane ChemiSorption (TMCS)

3M™ Liqui-Cel™ EXF Series Membrane Contactors enables TMCS for ammonia abatement in microelectronics wastewater treatment with several advantages over current methods. It features benefits like:

  • Helps lower operating costs
  • Enables resource recovery
  • Modular and scalable
  • Uses smaller footprint
  • May help reduce environmental impact
  • Helps meet regulatory compliance
  • Inline processing without the need for re-pressurization

Get all of this and more in a single-step process that operates at a lower temperature than steam or stripping, plus it allows for reclaimed ammonia byproduct for potential resale.

The opportunity to turn waste into a resource

Electronics manufacturers, power generation companies and other industries are turning to Liqui-Cel membrane contactors for TMCS to remove and reclaim ammonia in a useful form and enable the potential to reuse waste water streams. With Liqui-Cel membrane contactors for TMCS, you get: 

Effective, efficient and easy single-step processing 

Intensifies your process by combining two steps into one, compared to a stripping and scrubbing process. Compatible with a 3M™ High Flow Series Filter System pre-filter for a streamlined ammonia abatement solution.
