Review of Benzene Stripping Alternatives for the Small Tank Precipitation Facility

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/767280· OSTI ID:767280
Packed columns provide a proven technology for stripping benzene from salt solution. With continuous Small Tank Precipitation process the stripping load is reduced by a factor of four vs. former ITP cycling, and process continuity is maintained through to the Saltstone transfer tank. Lower stripping capacity allows new design options, including coarser packing and possibly reduced foaming packing.
