1. Type of tehcnoloy
Stripping.
2. Description of the equipment and/or process
Stripping is the Chemistry tecnology consists to remove, through the steam o air flow, a gas solute in a liquid.
The stripping process is usualy applied in towers, the liquid to treat goes into the tower through the head.
The gas goes into the tower through the bottom.
Inside the tower is placed the packing that offers hight specific surface, the flows (liquid from the head and gas from the bottom) intersect each other on packing, so the phases exchange to effect.
Usualy the stripping is applied to remove the ammonya compounds from the water.
Wet collectors or scrubbers represent the oldest and simplest system of cleaning a contaminated airborne flow.
The principle of operation consists in conveying the contaminated air into a chamber. Inside this chamber, thanks to suitable and widely differing technologies, an intimate contact takes place between the air and a certain quantity of water so that contaminants are transferred from the air into the water to the extent as to allow direct discharge of the air into the atmosphere with contaminant concentration within the allowable limits for the cleaned air.
