ASDC: A microcomputer-based program for air stripper design and costing. Revision. Final report, March 1990-August 1991
Packed-tower, counter-current air stripping is a treatment process that can be employed for removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water and wastewater. The design of an air stripper is performed using a well-developed mathematical model of the process. However, the number of variables involved exceeds the number of constraining equations by two, with the result that a number of alternative air stripper designs exist for a particular water treatment goal. In selecting the optimum design among the various alternatives, it is important to consider the capital and operating costs associated with each alternative. This report describes an interactive, microcomputer-based program - the Air Stripper Design and Costing (ASDC) program - that enables rapid evaluation of alternative air stripper designs and approximate costs associated with these designs for user-specified treatment scenarios. The various components of the program are described in detail, a guide to program operation is provided along with example applications, and results of some verification tests are presented.
