Advanced dissolved gas control products
Efficient dissolved gas control in a compact design
Dissolved gas control is a critical step in making the ultrapure water that microelectronics manufacturing and many other industries rely on. It can be used for deoxygenating industrial process water or adding carbonation to beverages. It can even remove ammonia from waste water, enabling the recovery of valuable resources. Whatever your industry’s dissolved gas control needs may be, there is a 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactor solution from Solventum.
You can improve your operating efficiency and performance, while protecting the quality of your product, with Liqui-Cel membrane contactors. They feature hollow fiber membrane technology in their compact design and deliver efficient dissolved gas control. Whether you need to add gases to or remove dissolved gases and bubbles from compatible liquid streams, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can help.
Importantly, you may have dissolved gas control needs at different points in the chain of complex filtration and purification processes in your production line. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can be integrated where you need them. And they’re compatible with the other filtration and purification solutions Solventum offers. Let our technical experts work with you to optimize your entire process.

Elevate the efficiency of your dissolved gas control process
Many industries have been turning away from older technologies for dissolved gas control in the liquids they use, in favor of the efficiencies and compact design of 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors. For over 20 years, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors have displaced vacuum towers, forced draft deaerators and oxygen scavengers around the world. Let the experts at Solventum help you integrate our solutions into your liquid purification and filtration processes.
Microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing
You need ultrapure water for your operation and Liqui-Cel membrane contactors can help provide it. They remove oxygen and carbon dioxide to very low levels to protect product yield and maximize the efficiency of electrode ionization and ion exchange processes. You get precision control of electrodeionization and dissolved gases, not only for ultrapure water, but also for all your compatible wet bench process fluids.
Power and steam generation
With increasing demand for power, the pressures on your operations for efficiency and output are greater than ever. Before water can be used in process, dissolved gases must be removed along with other contaminants. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors and other filtration solutions from Solventum can preserve your efficiency and performance.
Beverage production
Some beverages need dissolved gases removed, while others require them to be added. When you choose Liqui-Cel membrane contactors, you get the versatile, compact, in-line solution you need. They deliver rapid and precise deoxygenation, decarbonation, carbonation or nitrogenation. They can also help you adjust alcohol with low impact on flavor and aroma — all with an eye to efficiency, consistency and product quality.
Oil and gas production and refinement
Dissolved gas control is vital to your organization to protect equipment and meet environmental regulations. From boiler feed water deoxygenation and oil washing, to enhancing water flooding in offshore operations, Liqui-Cel membrane contactors from Solventum can save space, expand to changing capacity and even reduce installation and transportation costs.

Remove and reclaim ammonia with TransMembrane ChemiSorption (TMCS)
The challenge of ammonia removal
With responsible management of ammonia in waste water, you can protect the environment, sewage systems and treatment plants. You can also achieve your sustainability goals and ensure compliance with ever-shrinking regulatory limits on ammonia discharge. At the same time, ammonia-based compounds have a variety of valuable industrial uses, if they can be recaptured through innovative approaches. As you strive to meet these challenges, you need more efficient options for treating ammonia-rich effluent streams.
To help you gain efficiencies and attain your ammonia abatement goals, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors for TMCS offer a powerful, compact, single-step solution. Liqui-Cel membrane contactors for TMCS strip ammonia gas from waste water streams by diffusing it through a hollow fiber membrane and absorbing it directly into a reactive acid solution. This simultaneous, single-device removal and recovery of ammonia as an ammonium salt generates a byproduct that can be used or sold.
The opportunity to turn waste into a resource
Electronics manufacturers, power generation companies and other industries are turning to Liqui-Cel membrane contactors for TMCS to remove and reclaim ammonia in a useful form and enable the potential to reuse waste water streams. With Liqui-Cel membrane contactors for TMCS, you get:
