Strippers Market
Strippers are a specific application of packed columns. They are direct contact, mass transfer devices that enable the removal of dissolved gases and volatile liquids from a water solution.
Unique Water Purification Towers Redefining Groundwater Treatment
Strippers are built very much like water cooling towers, but the water circuit is a little different. Water to be cleaned is pumped out of the ground into the stripper where the contaminant is removed via contact between the polluted groundwater and an airstream. The water is then returned to the ground, or it may go through further cleaning before returning to the ground.
Stripping Applications
- A typical example would be the removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) from groundwater. Some examples of a VOC’s stripping need is from gasoline, diesel fuel, or dry cleaning fluids that have leaked or spilled onto the ground and are polluting a groundwater table.
- Another example of a stripper would be the removal of undesirable gases such as CO2 or H2S from well water before it is used for drinking water or aquaculture (fish farming).
- Strippers are commonly used in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) to remove excess CO2 from the recirculating water. The excess CO2 is the result of fish respiration.
Just like cooling towers, the water quality in strippers can vary widely. Our large selection of media types allows us to customize the media to the water quality to avoid fouling and scaling while providing high performance solutions for our customers.
