Provide a preliminary design o fa n air stripping column t o remove toluene from ground water. Levels of toluene range from 0.1
to 2.1 mglL and this must be reduced to 50 f.LglL. A hydrogeologic study of the area indicates that a flow rate of 1 1 0 gal/min is required to ensure that contamination not spread. Laboratory investigations have determined the overall transfer constant, KLa = 0.020 s-' . Use a column diameter of 2.0 feet and an air-to-water ratio of 15. Specifically determine: liquid loading rate, stripping factor, and height of the tower. Provide a sketch of the unit indicating all required appurtenances.
