Potable Treatment - VOC and Dissolved Gas Removal

Exposure to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and dissolved gases in water presents a long list of significant health risks or affect pH, and the USEPA has imposed strict MCLs to assure public safety. 

VOCs are organic chemical compounds which have significant vapor pressures and which can affect the environment and human health. VOCs are numerous and varied.

Dissolved gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) and radon.

Layne pioneered the concept of packed column air strippers for the removal of VOCs and dissolved gases from potable water through an aeration process.  Custom designed and pre-engineered tower systems are available in a wide variety of sizes and materials.  For more information about Air Strippers and Aeration, click here .

Membrana Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors are used extensively for the removal of dissolved gases in a number of industries, including pharmaceutical, power production, food and beverage, microelectronics, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in treatment of potable water.  For more information about Membrana Liqui-Cels, click here .
