Precision is critical to microelectronics manufacturing, where any particles, metals or dissolved gases not removed during production can lead to defects, or even product recalls. Degassing with 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors helps meet the strict requirements of the microelectronics industry, working to maximize efficiency and protect product yield.

Capable of both adding and removing dissolved gases to liquids, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors provide a compact, in-line solution that delivers precise gas control for everything from deoxygenation to carbonation to help improve process consistency and stability.

Power plants generating steam balance cost, efficiency and reliability with environmental considerations while supplying energy to the world. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors provide a cost-effective, chemical-free solution to remove dissolved O2, CO2, and volatile gases at low temperatures and without requiring 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 industries. Common 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors applications include boiler feedwater deoxygenation, CO2 removal in ion exchange, and water flooding in offshore environments.

Removing gasses and bubbles from inks and other compatible fluids can help improve yields, prevent defects and enhance operational performance. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors help remove bubbles and dissolved gases from inks, coatings and other fluids with low surface tensions where gasses in production lines can negatively impact the process.

The pharmaceutical industry requires a continuous source of purified water, often achieved through RO followed by EDI technology. However, the presence of free CO2 may reduce EDI efficiency. As a compact, chemical-free gas control solution, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors operate in closed systems to reduce the risk of contaminants entering the purified water stream.

Dissolved gases can interfere with instrument readings and can alter the composition of solutions for analysis. With 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors, water used in laboratory settings can be effectively degassed, helping to improve measurement reliability, optimize lab efficiency, and decrease product waste.
