A steady state air stripping process was added that removes the Styrene from your waste stream prior to discharge. The concept is to aerate the waste lagoon prior to discharge and using a large vacuum system catch all of the Styrene vapor coming off the lagoon then treat the air. The lagoon has a surface area of 7548 m2 and is 2 m deep. The waste stream entering the lagoon contains 300 g/L of Styrene flowing at 2.5 m3/hour. What is the flow rate of air needed to reduce the concentration to 100 mg/L if you to treat this reactor as a completely mixed system.
C of Styrene in water =31.25 g/L
