3M-Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors

3M Liqui-Cel and Liqui-Flux records should be read as 3M membrane contactor and membrane-filtration technologies.Liqui-Cel is used for dissolved gas control such as degassing and carbonation management, while Liqui-Flux UF modules support filtration duties where compact membrane modules and established 3M component supply are useful.

3M-Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors's position in RO/NF membranes and related equipment is defined by product families such as Debubbling, Gas transfer, Degassing (low surface tension fluids) and Application / guidance.

The portfolio is best understood inside brackish water, seawater desalination, ultrapure water, process separation, reuse, degassing, and membrane system packaging, where engineers compare the technology route, family boundaries, and duty fit before narrowing to individual models.Representative series on this page include MM Series 0.5 x 1, MM Series 0.75 x 1 and MM Series 1.7 x 5.5.Engineers should compare element size, salt rejection, permeate flow, pressure rating, fouling resistance, connection type, and vessel fit.

3M Liqui-Cel General brochure

Application / guidance

Transverse flow: Liquid flows into the liquid inlet, crosses the hollow fibers, and then exits through the opposite port. No baffle is used. A vacuum or strip gas can be applied to either gas port · Radial flow: A plugged center tube on one side forces liquid radially over the hollow fibers. Primarily used for degassing low surface tension fluids · Extra-flow in high pressure vessel: An RO-style vessel generates a much higher maximum pressure. Liquid is directed radially across the membrane array by a baffle

3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors are gas transfer devices that use microporous hollow fiber membranes to remove, add, or control dissolved gases in liquids.
