To help beverage manufacturers control and maintain dissolved gases, 3M Industrial Business Group introduced its Liqui-Cel Dissolved Gas Control Skid, which simultaneously provides convenient and rapid in-line carbonation, decarbonation and nitrogenation, the company says. Because the all-in-one unit also contains a vacuum pump and measuring devices, the Liqui-Cel eliminates the need for separate systems/processes, saving time and money, it adds. Additionally, the contractors also are flexible and can easily be adjusted for a near instantaneous impact on dissolved gas concentrations. Using the membrane-based Liqui-Cel Contractors technology also can reduce residence time, complexity and product inconsistency because gas concentrations can be precisely predicted and controlled, it adds.
