Stripping plants

Stripping is a physical separation process where one or more components are removed from a liquid stream by air or a vapor stream. air dep columns stripping are used for stripping gases dissolved in water, such as carbon dioxide, ammonia and VOCs in general. The most common application is using air to remove ammonia dissolved in water.

The efficiency of stripping varied from 50 to 90% depending on several factors. For example for ammonia stripping the pH and the temperature have a very important role in the efficiency of the process.
