Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted with an actual modified in-situ (MIS) gas condensate to assess the performance of steam stripping, of the activated-sludge process, and of activated-carbon adsorption for upgrading the quality of this waste water. Steam-stripping experiments were carried out with a laboratory-scale, packed tower which contacted preheated, raw-gas condensate with low-pressure steam in a countercurrent manner. At a steam/liquid ratio of 0.24 kg/kg, removals of both ammonia and alkalinity were at least 99%, and an incidental removal of 82% of the raw waste water TOC was also observed. No stripper-feedwater pH adjustment was required. 5 references, 6 figures, 6 tables.
