Charlotte, NC. USA. March 2, 2010
Membrana, a leading membrane and degassing device manufacturer, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its ability to service various water treatment sectors that require the NSF Mark for drinking water components. Liqui-Cel® High purity 10 x 28 Membrane Contactors and Liqui-Cel® 14 x 28 Membrane Contactors, both with X-40 and X-50 membrane, have successfully passed all testing requirements and document reviews at NSF. An official NSF listing can be found at http://www.nsf.org/Certified/PwsComponents/Listings.asp?Company=4R810&Standard=061&
Many Liqui-Cel® Contactors already meet FDA requirements pert title 21of the Federal Code of
Regulations. Adding the NSF Mark to some of the Liqui-Cel® products now allows the contactors tobe safely utilized in drinking water systems as well. Using Liqui-Cel® Contactors in Municipal Water applications is a new application of Membrane Contactors where the NSF Mark is required.
Liqui-Cel®, MicroModule®, MiniModule®, and SuperPhobic® Membrane Contactors are used around the world for adding or removing oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) to or from different liquids in digital printing, analytical/biotechnology, semiconductor, power, pharmaceutical, photographic, food and beverage, and many other industries. For example, O2 negatively impacts many processes; it is corrosive and can oxidize materials. In the power and industrial areas, piping and equipment are susceptible to corrosion. Specifically to the semiconductor and ink market, high levels of dissolved gases can cause lower yields and slower process speeds.
Liqui-Cel® Contactors are also used to add gasses to liquids to enhance megasonic cleaning. The
beverage industry looks to membrane contactors for carbonation, nitrogenation and deoxygenation. These reflect only a few examples of the variety of applications where
Membrana Membrane Contactors are used. Membrana’s Filtration Group also manufactures a variety of membranes and devices used for filtration in various industries and applications.
Polypore International, Inc. is a global high technology filtration company specializing in
microporous membranes. Polypore's flat sheet and hollow fiber membranes are used in
specialized applications that require the removal or separation of various materials from liquids,
primarily in the ultrafiltration and microfiltration markets. Based in Charlotte, NC, Polypore
International, Inc. is a global leader with manufacturing facilities or sales offices in nine countries
serving six continents.

Pharmacetuical Industry
Liqui Cel serves a variety of industry across the globe. One of the major industry is the Pharmaceutcal industry. The pharmaceutical industry requires high water quality without contamination. Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors offer the ideal solution for gas control in the pharmaceutical industry. Liqui-Cel systems are closed systems that do not introduce environmental contaminants into the water like an old Forced Draft Deaerator used to do. They also replace the need to use chemical injection.

Successful Ammonia Removal from Wastewater Using Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors at a European Manufacturing Facility
Ammonia is widely used in the Chemical Industry as a cleaning and bleaching agent in the production of fertilizers, plastics, and explosives just to name a few. As a result,large quantities of wastewater containing ammonia are produced and many industries now have to treat the wastewater to remove the ammonia so that it is not discharged back into the environment.
There are many conventional ways to remove ammonia from water but most of them
produce a secondary waste stream that can cause a whole list of other problems. Membrane Contactors offer a superior solution for stripping Ammonia because they provide a large surface area that facilitates fast separation of the ammonia from the wastewater.
Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors offer a great alternative for treating ammonia byproducts in wastewater by extracting it from water and converting it into a ammonium salt, which has some commercial value. Additionally, there is a large cost savings that is realized when using iqui-Cel® Contactors because there is a reduction in the ammonia load on the wastewater treatment system.
The extraction process uses Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors. Contactors have been in service for over 10 years in many different applications and are proven to be durable and reliable.

Green gas could add fizz to Coke
The Coca-Cola Co. became a global giant by carbonating soft drinks. Now, it could be interested in another kind of gas.
Coke is said to be considering tapping two Atlanta landfills as a source of clean-burning natural gas. Methane is naturally produced during decomposition of landfill waste.
The Jacoby Group Inc., which owns the gas rights at DeKalb County’s Live Oak landfill, hopes to process methane gas from the nearby Hickory Ridge landfill into clean-burning natural gas. An out-of-state utility has expressed interest in investing in the project, a source said.
“There’s no secret that we have talked to a number of potential partners about joining us on the [Live Oak] project,” Jacoby Group’s John Borden said. Those potential partners include utilities and private equity investors.
Negotiations are under way, but “we do not have the entire deal even under letter of intent, much less contract,” said an official with Atlanta-based Global Energy Systems, a subsidiary of Global Energy Holdings Group Inc. (Amex: GNH). Global Energy paid more than $3 million to acquire the Hickory Ridge landfill gas purchase rights.
While Coca-Cola declined to comment on any involvement with the potential landfill project, the company wants to add some green to its trademark red.
