Aeration Columns
Branch designs and builds custom fabricated mass transfer
equipment for gas absorption and removal.
The most common types of aeration devices we provide are:
- Packed Columns for either absorbing or stripping
gases.
- Tray Column.
|
| In water service applications, air will saturate
incoming water as it moves vertically downward through the
columns. Volatile gases trapped in the water are released
into the air as the water contacts the high surface packing
media.
Units can be used with air provided from one of several
sources including:
- Blowers
- Compressed gas
- Natural Draft Designs

The basic
principle remains the same in all the
installations made.
Our countercurrent absorption (aeration) and
stripping columns are the most common design
used because of the high efficiencies achieved.
Capacities
From small units up to 4 MM GPD (15120 m3/d)
have been built in single module construction.
Multiple modules have been provided for larger
applications.

Materials of construction
Since Branch Environmental custom
fabricates individual columns as required, virtually
any material of construction can be used for
fabrication.
Towers have been built in all of the following:
- Fiberglass - using FDA approved resins
- Polypropylene
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum and coated/lined metal construction.
