Incidentally, this also applies to the private sector: degassing printing inks can significantly increase the yield of inkjet printers, for example. Printing inks that are degassed prevent quality defects and dropouts at the application nozzles.Basically, the 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ membrane contactors provide an efficient method of controlling and degassing dissolved gases in compact designs. The use of hollow fiber membrane technology improves the operating efficiency and performance of manufacturing facilities around the world - and that translates directly into improved product quality.As mentioned earlier, membrane contactors are used in a wide variety of industries around the world: In the production processes of the pharmaceutical industry, for example, purified water with its conductivity of less than 1.3 µS/cm is always needed. The same applies to semiconductor and flat screen production, where ultra-pure water helps to achieve extremely low levels of O₂ and CO₂ It is true for virtually all industries that the efficiency of electrodeionization and ion exchange processes is maximized. Cost, efficiency and reliability in manufacturing must also be guaranteed for steam power plants, and high environmental requirements naturally apply here as well. In addition, an uninterruptible power supply must be ensured in particular. Degassed water systems are important in power generation and membrane contactors reduce downtime enormously due to their reliability and potency. For plants with boiler water systems for steam production, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ membrane contactors provide a cost-effective, efficient and easy-to-use alternative. Last but not least, knowledge of membrane gas transfer technology continues to gain acceptance in the oil and gas industry. So it is clear that the use of 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors in the global industry is a success story that is gaining tremendous momentum.
