RO+Degassifier+MB------ Put Liqui Cell before MB
Cation+Degassifier+Anion ----Put Liqui Cell before Anion

The management of the dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) in the water after RO plant is critical for an
CO2 typically accounts for the largest Anion load in the DI system and it is normally handled using o
for the largest anion
1) Conventional degasifying unit, such as a Forced Draft Tower
2) Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors

Degassing is the economical and value added technology of choice for oxygen and carbon dioxide re
85-95% CO2 removal depending upon water temperature and Flow rate

Quick Pay back
upto 95% removal of free CO2
Low Energy use and capital cost
O plant is critical for an efficient operation
ormally handled using one of the following methods

en and carbon dioxide removal from water.

Membrane Contactors can be used to remove the dissolved
oxygen from water. By removing the dissolved oxygen the volume
of chemicals added to the boiler will be reduced. By reducing the
chemicals added to the boiler the frequency of blow down can be
potentially reduced. The example in figure 1 compares operating
costs of two systems. One system is a chemical only treatment
system with a blow down rate of 10%. The other system assumes
that the oxygen content of the feed water is reduced to 0.5 ppm
and that the blow down rate can be reduced to 5% due to the
reduction of chemicals in the boiler.
