BECA® MemDox Membrane Degassing

Purity and Resource Conservation

If you need a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for degassing liquids—such as product water—to achieve a very low residual gas content (usually O₂), the BECA®membrane degassing system is usually the preferred choice.

The quality of process water for the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries is subject to a wide variety of requirements. The concentrations of substances dissolved in the water—such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia—play an important role. Oxygen has an oxidative effect and accelerates microbial growth; carbon dioxide contaminates ion-exchange systems (dissociation into the various components of carbonic acid) and causes limit values to be exceeded in pharmaceutical-grade water. Ammonium, as an ionic component, can exceed the limit values in drinking water and pharmaceutical water.

TheBECA® membrane degassing systemoperates on the basis of the membrane diffusion process, in which a partial pressure gradient is applied to cause the gases to diffuse through the membrane. The water to be degassed flows radially outward from the centrally located distributor around the membrane. The stripping gas flows through the membrane on the lumen side (inner side). Due to the membrane’s hydrophobic properties, no water penetrates through the membrane into the gas phase.

If a liquid ring vacuum pump is used instead of a dry-running vacuum pump, the barrier water circuit patented by BECA® back in 1994 guarantees enormous savings in operating water.
