Water Treatment Using Air Strippers (1HR, 1PDH, 0.1CEU : $20)

PayPal
Learn how air strippers are being used to remove contaminants like disinfection by-products (THMs) and other VOCs from drinking water at treatment facilities.
The principles behind the air stripping process are introduced and several types of stripping methods are discussed. The unique advantages of sliding tray air strippers in achieving water quality targets while lowering the costs of installation and maintenance, especially under high fouling conditions, are
examined. Case histories of major remediation, process and drinking water
treatment projects will be presented.
