Summary

Product identification

  • 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ SP-4x28 Series Membrane Contactor
  • Applications:
    • Fluoroelastomer: General Purpose
    • Perfluoroelastomer: Ultra Pure Water

Membrane Characteristics

  • Cartridge Configuration: Extra-Flow with Center Baffle
  • Membrane/Potting Material: Polyolefin / Polyethylene

Operating limits

  • Liquid Flow Guidelines: 1.1-6.8 m³/hr (5-30 gpm)
    • Liquid must flow on the shellside
  • Maximum Shellside LIQUID Working Temperature/Pressure:
    • 5-25°C, 4.1 barg (41-77°F, 60 psig)
    • 50°C, 1.0 barg (122°F, 15 psig)
    • If no vacuum is used, 1 barg (15 psig) can be added to pressures above.
  • Maximum Applied Gas Pressure: 4.1 barg at 25°C (60 psig at 77°F)
  • Note: Liquid pressure should always exceed gas pressure.
  • See the official PDF for complete temperature/pressure limits for housings and membrane.
