Diffused air strippers

Figure 1: Strippers law describes the tendency of a constituent to transfer from the liquid to the gas phase at equilibrium. The design of the aerator is similar to cascade aerators, with stacked pans arranged such that water fills top pan and cascades down to each succeeding pan.

The contaminated feed water is pumped into the top of the tower and blowers are used to introduce air countercurrent through the bottom of the tower. Create Citiation Alert via Google Reader. The effectiveness of aeration depends upon the aeration method selected, Henry's law constant of contaminant, design factors such as air to water ratio, flow and loading rate, available area of mass transfer, temperature, pH and algae production.
