Membrana-Charlotte and Ökotek Enter into an Agreement for Distribution of Liqui-Cel® Contactors in Turkey
Membrana-Charlotte and Ökotek Çevre Teknolojisi ve Kimya Sanayi Limited Sti entered into an exclusive agency effective April1, 2013 for the sale and support of Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors in Turkey. This agreement allows Membrana’s new and established customers to receive rapid support by a local company.
Chad Schuchmann, Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactor VP says, “Membrana continues to focus on expanding distribution in regional growth markets with companies that have proven technical expertise in water treatment as well as an established customer network. An agency agreement with Ökotek fits well with our distribution growth plans and they possess the technical knowledge to sell and support our Liqui-Cel® Contactor products.”
Membrana-Charlotte combines application knowledge and Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactor technology expertise to provide innovative separation solutions. Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors have low energy requirements and can reduce chemical use which contributes to low operating costs and supports customer sustainability objectives. Liqui-Cel® Contactors are modular and compact and can achieve very low dissolved gas outlet concentrations. They are rapidly replacing older deaeration technologies as the product of choice in power generation, semiconductor, hydrocarbon, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, analytical/biotechnology and many other industries. Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors also operate cleanly and require a much smaller footprint compared to other technologies. These devices have processed over 620,000 m3/hr (2.7 million gpm) of liquids worldwide and have been operating in a variety of applications for over 20 years.
Dissolved CO2 removal from water can improve Ion Exchange (IX) and EDI/CDI efficiency after RO. For example, In EDI/CDI systems excess CO2 can lead to the formation of ionic species that contribute to the total ionic load of an EDI unit, resulting in higher conductivity. In IX systems, reducing dissolved CO2 concentration lowers bed regeneration frequency resulting in more efficient operations. Chemical consumption, such a NaOH, can also be reduced in double pass RO systems.
O2 also negatively impacts many processes; it is corrosive and can oxidize water treatment system components. In the power and industrial areas, piping and equipment are susceptible to corrosion. In the semiconductor and ink markets, high levels of dissolved gases can cause lower yields and slower process speeds. Liqui-Cel®Contactors are also used to add gases to liquids to enhance megasonic cleaning. The beverage industry utilizes membrane contactor technology for carbonation, nitrogenation and deoxygenation. These applications are only a few examples of the many opportunities where Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors can be used for gas transfer. Membrana’s Industrial & Specialty Filtration Business also manufactures a variety of membranes and devices used for filtration in various industries and applications.
