Can Liqui-Cel Contactors be used in desalination?
Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors have been used in research studies for such purposes. However, no products have been commercialized due to the short life span of the membrane when used in this type of application. A capillary Hollow Fiber Membrane with large diameters and very high porosity is recommended. We have suitable membranes, but the temperature is limited to 45 C.
