A stripper is a mass transfer device used in water and wastewater treatment to remove volatile contaminants, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, or hydrogen sulphide, by transferring them from the liquid phase to the gas phase using air or steam
Salient Features
- Removes volatile gases (e.g., NH₃, CO₂, H₂S) from water
- Uses counter-current air or steam flow for efficient stripping
- Typically packed or tray-based tower design
- Operates under ambient or elevated temperatures
- Used in processes like de-gassing, and removal of ammonia, volatile compounds
