 Counterflow stripping columns are the most common design because of the
high efficiencies that can be achieved, combined with the low air volume
required.
Air volume is important, because in many cases the air will require
further treatment before it can be discharged. The smaller the volume, the
lower the supplemental equipment cost.
We offer designs using any of the available component suppliers. If you
have a specific preference, we will be able to help you.

 Where ammonia is present in water to be treated, you can remove it
using air stripping technology.
By a combination of pH adjustment and temperature, we calculate the
tower size for any required efficiency. The most common application is for
waste water at ambient temperature. By increasing the pH to 11, removals
in the 80-90% range can be provided.
With large systems, the discharge air will need treatment to collect
the ammonia. We provide a closed loop system where the discharge air is
treated with an acid wash to form a salt from the ammonia and the air is
reused in the stripper.

| SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other soluble gases can often be
removed using air stripping technology.
We have previously built units for many unusual applications.
Recently,
several units have been installed on MTBE. Information on stripping MTBE
or other VOC compounds is available.
