A mathematical model characterizing the operation of the benzene stripping columns in the In-Tank Precipitation (ITP) process has been developed. The model was verified using operations data of two stripping columns, and the model predicted reasonable, conservative values of the height of a transfer unit (HTU) and outlet solute concentrations. The model was applied to predict general operating efficiency of the ITP strippers, and predictions indicate that the stripping columns will be able to satisfy benzene removal requirements. 12 refs.
