Membrane Deaeration 3M Liqui-Cell™
Our oxygen-removal technology — eliminating dissolved oxygen from injection water to protect reservoirs and infrastructure across the offshore fleet.
Flagship TechnologyOxygen Out. Reservoir Protected.
Dissolved oxygen in offshore injection water is one of the most destructive forces a producing field faces. It triggers biological growth, lowers pH, reduces hydrocarbon quality, and accelerates corrosion of pipelines, valves, and downhole infrastructure. Our 3M Liqui-Cell™ Membrane Deaeration systems strip dissolved oxygen to the highest purity levels required for safe reservoir injection.
As one of only two Norwegian companies qualified as a 3M Oxygen Removal System Integrator, Vulkan engineers these systems for high continuous flow rates and uninterrupted offshore operation — combining high oxygen selectivity, exceptional flux performance, and long-lasting durability.
How It Works
Seawater passes across hollow-fibre membrane contactors while a vacuum and sweep gas draw dissolved oxygen through the membrane wall. The water never contacts the gas directly, enabling precise, chemical-light oxygen removal in a compact, modular footprint suited to offshore weight and space constraints.
Key Benefits
- Dissolved O₂ removed to <10 ppb
- Prevents corrosion & reservoir souring
- Compact, weight-optimized modules
- High flux at continuous offshore flow
- Backed by condition monitoring
- Minimal chemical scavenger demand
