Question: Design an air stripping column to remove 1 , 1 , 1 - Tricholoroethane ( TCE - C 2 H 3 Cl ) from water.

Design an air stripping column to remove 1,1,1-Tricholoroethane (TCE- C2H3Cl) from water. The initial concentration of TCE is 1.5 mg/L and this must be reduced to
65 ug/L. Use the following criteria: Water flow rate =320 gal/min.; water
temperature =16\deg C; air temperature =26\deg C; packing: use 2-in Intalox saddles or
equivalent. (Hints: For TCE you can use, KL =20.4 cm/hr and for 2-inch Intalox
saddles, a =118 m2/m. You can assume d =2 ft and air-to-water ratio (QA/Qw)=
20 and 2-ft diameter column. Using the alternate method, the volume (ZA) of the packing in column is nearly:
