  • Various membrane contractors used in filtration for efficiently adding or stripping dissolved gases.
    3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors

    Capable of both adding and removing dissolved gases, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors are commonly used for carbon dioxide removal, deoxygenation, nitrogenation and carbonation. Highly compact and efficient, they use microporous membranes with nearly 10x the gas exchange surface area of conventional vacuum towers.

Industrial filtration to power the future.

3M filtration products for emerging markets and other industrial applications.

Ask an Expert

Every industry has its own unique water filtration and separation challenges. That’s why 3M has a robust portfolio of industrial water solutions to help meet the environmental concerns, regulatory requirements and filtration needs of virtually every industry.


Filtration in Emerging Markets and Other Industrial Applications

Water is used in virtually every step of every manufacturing process every day. That’s why it’s so important to ensure your filtration helps to meet your efficiency, productivity, regulatory and conservation goals.

Whether it’s incoming raw materials, continuous or batch process or final filtration, 3M has the solutions you need to help you to maximize and streamline your water and application processes.

Filtration in Emerging Markets and Other Industrial Applications

Desalination

Obviously it’s important to desalinate sea water before using it for your manufacturing processes or municipal water needs, but it’s also important to do it efficiently. 3M filtration and separation products can help remove suspended and dissolved solids from ocean water before the reverse osmosis process which is key to longer filter life and successful desalination.
