EXF Series 8 x 80

Summary

Product identification

The 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ EXF-8x80 Series Membrane Contactor features an Extra-Flow with Center Baffle cartridge configuration. It utilizes X40 Fiber membrane, recommended for high pressure O₂ removal and other gas transfer applications.

• Membrane Type: X40 Fiber
• Membrane/Potting Material: Polypropylene / Epoxy
• Housing Characteristics Material: Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), FRP Vessel Code-rated to ASME BPVC Section X

Operating limits

• Liquid Flow Guidelines: 7 – 28 m³/hr (30 – 125 gpm)
• Maximum Shellside LIQUID Working Temperature/Pressure:
  • 5-25°C, 19.7 barg (41-86°F, 285 psig)
  • 60°C, 12.0 barg (140°F, 175 psig)
  • Note: If no vacuum is used, 1.0 barg (15 psig) can be added to pressures above.
• Maximum Applied Gas Pressure: 2.1 barg at 25°C (30 psig at 77°F) (for integrity testing at ambient temperatures; normal operating pressures are typically lower).
• Important Note: Liquid pressure should always exceed gas pressure.

Mechanical / hydraulic
