Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors are modular gas transfer devices that utilize microporous hollow fibers to add or remove oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or other gases to or from various liquids. These devices are capable of O2 removal to < 1 ppb and CO2 removal to < 1 ppm, and they are rapidly displacing older deaeration technologies as the product of choice in semiconductor, power generation, pharmaceutical, digital printing, analytical/biotechnology, beverage, and many other industries around the world.

Spotlight On Membranes, RO, And Desalination

One System, Many Solutions: Upgrading With MBR
By Ovivo
Following a preselection (and prepurchase) process, an Ovivo MBR System was selected to upgrade/expand an old SBR-based treatment system. The existing plant remained in service throughout construction that lasted roughly 22 months.


Using Pump Variable Speed Drive Solutions In Membrane Filtration
By Grundfos
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are nothing new to membrane filtration units. The most typical use of an external VFD on pressure pumps for reverse osmosis (RO) or ultrafiltration (UF) systems is to account for variability in flow.


Packaged Membrane System Helps Colorado Town Meet Drinking Water Needs
By Siemens Industry, Inc. — Water Technologies
Located in northwest Colorado, the town of Oak Creek is a modest-sized community with a diverse landscape of mountainous peaks and rolling ranch land. Anticipating the spring run-off season, and the need to treat a wide range of raw water quality, the town of Oak Creek developed a fast-track, design-build schedule to find a solution to its water treatment needs.


Water Desalination Case Study: Zhuanghe Power Plant
By Koch Membrane Systems, Inc.
To produce electricity, power plants require large volumes of high-quality water for boiler make-up and for cooling. However, in most locations in China, where water resources are scarce, no surplus water is available, and the government will not allow power plants to place additional demands on the already scarce water supply.

Can We Reuse Household Graywater To Water Plants?
In the U.S., graywater recycling is not a common practice when compared to countries such as Australia, where many new homes are equipped with graywater recycling systems. Droughts, rising energy costs for water transport and treatment, and increased population are driving interest in innovative alternatives to traditional water sources. One approach that is gaining popularity is household graywater reuse for landscape irrigation.
