Basic introduction of Arrayforce™ gas-liquid separation membrane contactor
Process water in many industries requires dissolved gases removal or gases injection.
Arrayforce™ gas-liquid membrane contactor provides a highly efficient, energy-saving and environmental friendly gas-liquid separation/mix solution for various industries by utilizing hollow fiber membrane with great hydrophobic property.
How membrane contactor works:
In typical operation, liquid to be degassed flows outside the hollow fiber. At the same time, vacuum, sweep gas or a certain adsorption liquid go through inside the hollow fiber. There are a lot of micro pores on the surface of hydrophobic hollow fiber, which allow gas molecules pass through, but reject water molecules. Under the force caused by vacuum, sweep gas or adsorption liquid, the gases dissolved in liquid outside the hollow fiber moves continuously through the micropores to the inside hollow fiber, and then is taken away by vacuum, sweep gas or a certain adsorption liquid. In this way, dissolved gases in liquid is removed.
Typical Aplications
- Deoxygenation for ultrapure water
- Decarbonation for ultrapure water
- Deammonia for wastewater
- Carbon dioxide injection into pure water
- Oxygen injection into pure water
- Ergonornically designed handle facilities fast and easy Installation and remove without special tools.
Features of Arrayforce™ membrane contactor
Great hydrophobic property
The gas-liquid separation function of the membrane contactor is guaranteed based
on its hydrophobic property, but after long-time operation in water, the pores of the
hollow fiber will be gradually infiltrated by liquid. The hydrophobic interface will be
destroyed, and the membrane will lose gas-liquid separation function.
Arrayforce’s special membrane hydrophobization technology ensures the hydrophobic
life of membrane long enough for engineering application
- Precise hollow fiber arrangement
The hollow fiber knitting process makes hollow fibers into an array, then the
hollow fiber array is rolled up into a housing. The hollow fiber knitting process
expands the effective contact area of the membrane contactor. Besides, each hollow
fiber is fixed, so they will not swing while the water flows through them. In this way,
the hollow fiber will not broke and product water quality can be stable;
- High efficient gas-liquid contact
The middle baffle and the central pipe water distribution, make water jet flow
through the hollow fibers, which effectively improves the gas transfer efficiency
between the shell side and the lumen side

Compared with conventional degassers, Arrayforce™ membrane contactors
have the following advantages:
· Expandable: no matter treatment capacity increase or gas removal efficiency improvement, you can make it
through adding membrane contactors in parallel of series ;
· No chemical dosing: no chemical elements increase in water, saving cost of subsequent treatment ;
· Quick start: simple operation process, time required for system stability is very short.
