3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors Get dissolved gas control in a versatile, compact solution. The taste and consistency of your wine depends on dissolved gas levels. Removing oxygen can extend shelf life, while adjusting carbon dioxide enhances flavor. Effective gas control systems can help ensure quality — from the first sip to the last drop. Meet target product specifications with dissolved gas control High performance and efficiency • P redictable, precise gas control that can achieve oxygen concentrations of less than 0.1 mg/l • F or white wine, simultaneous oxygen removal and carbon dioxide...

Liquid/gas contact area at the pore Liquid flow Oxygen in wine can compromise its quality and accelerate deterioration. By limiting the amount of O2 in wine, 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors can help protect shelf life and reduce impacts to aroma and taste. Vacuum and/or sweep gas Liquid outlet Membrane wall The hydrophobic membrane and small pore sizes keep liquid water from passing into the gas stream. Hollow fiber membrane Distribution tube Collection tube Hollow fiber membrane array Hollow fiber Vacuum/ Sweep gas Hydrophobic membrane with pores approx. 0.03 µm Liquid inlet

Many bottling applications use one or more prefilters and a final filter, arranged in series, to achieve maximum performance and cost reduction. 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filters By combining a graded-density microporous membrane made of N66 nylon with Advanced Pleat Technology (APT), LifeASSURE BLA series filters guarantee protection for the final membrane filters and extend service life . The graded-density structure makes it possible to remove large particles and colloidal elements via the filter’s external layer, which is more open, while smaller particles are retained in the filter’s downstream...

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BBA Series Filters This absolute-rated PES membrane filter provides improved filter service life and reliable microorganism control in wine and beverage applications. Designed for durable and long-lasting performance in a variety of food and beverage applications. 3M™ Betafine™ XL Series Filters Polypropylene Betafine XL series filters utilize APT resulting in optimized filter media utilization and extended filter life. Benefits include: • C onsistent and reproducible retention of contaminants and protection of downstream membranes • R eduction in total filtration operating costs,...
