Many industries require gas/liquid contacting in a wide range of processes and the DGC can be beneficial to all of them.

Conventional processes include:

Gas Absorption

Typical gas absorption applications carried out in the DGC include

• O₂ / H₂O
• CO₂ / H₂O
• CO₂ / Seawater

Effluent Treatment

Typical effluents treated using the DGC technology include:

• Farm slurry with high Ammonia content
  
• Phenols
• Organic Solvents such as Methanol, Ethanol, Toluene etc.
• Chlorophenols
• Dioxins
• Glycols
• Polychlorinated Benzenes (PCB's)
• Pharmaceutical Waste
• Organic Food Waste
• Landfill Leachates
• Endocrine disrupters

Chemical Reactions

The DGC is a versatile chemical reactor which can be operated as a slurry or packed bed catalytic reactor with batch or continuous operation.

Typical reactions include:

• DGC operating as a three phase chemical reactor
• Very efficient gas-liquid-solid contacting device
• Hydrogenation
  • Fine Chemicals, e.g., Itaconic Acid, Butynediol, Cinnamaldehyde etc
  • Vegetable Oils, e.g., Rapeseed Oil, Soyabean Oil etc
• Oxidation
  • p-Cresol in Methanol
  • Organic Food waste
