Tray-Based Air Stripping System Tackles Contaminated Water

摘要

Some of the most common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in public water supplies are easily removed using air stripping technology. Air stripping is a process that removes or "strips" VOCs from water by contacting clean air with contaminated water across a high surface area,causing the VOCs to move from the water into the air. It is a very simple and robust process - as long as air is mixing with water, contaminant removal continues.Two recent projects involved stripping trichloroethylene (TCE) from groundwater so the water could be used for drinking.
