Abstract

A butterfly value pneumatic atomizing scrubber designed to provide a maximum of 500 SCFM of air and 10 GPM of water has been used to establish the operational feasibility of chloroform stripping from wastewater. The effect of various operational parameters such as pressure drop, hydraulic loading and liquid to gas ratio has been studied in detail. The results show that over 80% chloroform removal can be achieved at high liquid hydraulic loading and water to air ratio of 185.2 gpm/ft2 and 0.9 Wt/Wt (respectively). The results have also been reported in terms of mass transfer coefficients (KLa).
