Air-stripping in a packed column is sometimes used to remove volatile organic
compounds from contaminated water supplies. Since the design engineer frequent-
ly uses data from a pilot air-stripping column to design a full-scale system,
the suitability of such design scale-up was investigated. A total of 48 exper-
imental runs was made in packed columns of four different diameters (6,12,24 &
57 in.) at air-to-water ratios ranging from 5:1 to 50:1. Water from the Village
of Brewster, NY, well fields (contaminated with PCE, TCE and cis-1,2 dichloro-
ethylene) was used. Various packing types (1/2, 1 & 3 in. saddles, 2 in. TRI-
PACKS) were used in the experimental runs. Generally, it was found that the
mass transfer coefficient increased with column diameter, i.e., mass transfer
coefficients obtained from a pilot column tend to be conservative. Thus, a full-
scale column designed from pilot data would tend to be overdesigned. The exper-
imental mass transfer coefficients were compared with values calculated from the
Onda mass transfer coefficient model. Based on these results, it appears that
the Onda model would tend to give a conservative design for a full-scale system.
Using a cost model developed by USEPA/ODW/TSD, the 2 in. TRI-PACKS (of the pack-
ings tested) gave the most cost-effective design for a full-scale system. No
operational problems were encountered during freezing weather other than rupture
of some sample lines.

FOREWORD
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency is charged by Congress
with protecting the Nation s land, air, and water systems. Under a
mandate of national environmental laws, the agency strives to formulate
and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human
activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture
life. The Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Toxic
Substances Control Act are three of the major congressional laws that
provide the framework for restoring and maintaining the integrity of our
Nation s water, for preserving and enhancing the water we drink, and for
protecting the environment from toxic substances. These laws direct the
EPA to perform research to define our environmental problems, measure the
impacts, and search for solutions.
The Water Engineering Research Laboratory is that component of
EPA s Research and Development program concerned with preventing,
treating, and managing municipal and industrial wastewater discharges;
establishing practices to control and remove contaminants from drinking
water and to prevent its deterioration during storage and distribution;
and assessing the nature and controllability of releases of toxic
substances to the air, water, and land from manufacturing processes and
subsequent product uses. This publication is one of the products of that
research and provides a vital communication link between the researcher
and the user community.
Contamination of groundwater supplies with volatile halogenated
organic solvents has occurred at a number of places in the United States.
A cost-effective method for removing such contaminants consists of
air-stripping in a counter-current packed column, and engineering design
guidelines are needed to design these large-scale packed columns. The
principal objective of this project is to investigate and confirm the
scale-up capability of an air-stripping packed column from pilot to
full-scale module.

ABSTRACT
An investigation was conducted to determine the suitability of design
scale-up from pilot-scale to full-scale air-stripping columns used in the
removal of volatile organic compounds from contaminated water supplies.
Forty eight experimental runs were made in packed columns of four
different diameters (6, 12, 24, and 57 inches) at air-to-water ratios ranging
from 5:1 to 50:1. The study used water from the Village of Brewster, New
York, well fields (contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene,
and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene). Various packing types (1/2-inch saddles,
1-inch saddles, 3-inch saddles, and 2-inch TRI-PACK.S) were used in the
experimental runs.
Generally, the mass transfer coefficients increased with column
diameter—that is, mass transfer coefficients obtained from a pilot column
tend to be conservative. Thus, a full-scale column designed from pilot data
would tend to be overdesigned. This was true even when the pilot column had
a column diameter to packing size ratio of 12:1 or 24:1.
The experimental mass transfer coefficients were compared with values
calculated from the Onda mass transfer coefficient model. Generally, the two
values were in reasonably good agreement. Based on these results, it appears
that the Onda model tends to give a conservative design for a full-scale
system. Using a cost model developed by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the 2-inch plastic TRI-PACKS (of the packing types tested) resulted
in the most cost-effective design for a full-scale system. No operational
problems were encountered during subfreezing weather other than rupture of
some sample lines.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Cooperative Agreement
No. CR-810247-01 by Nathan L. Jacobson & Associates, under the sponsorship of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Village of Brewster,
New York. This report covers a period from September 1, 1982 to
November 30, 1985, and the experimental work was completed as of May 1985.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
The Village of Brewster in New York State has a serious groundwater
contamination problem—namely, their well fields are badly contaminated
with industrial chlorinated solvents (tetrachloroethylene,
trichloroethylene, cis-1,2 dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride). A
continuing program has been under way to evaluate various approaches of
providing a potable water supply, such as decontamination of water from
the existing well fields by air-stripping or location of a new water
supply source. Air-stripping was selected as the most cost-effective
approach.
In 1982, a packed column pilot plant (12-inch diameter with 18 feet
of 1-inch packing) was erected at the Village well fields, and an
air-stripping test program was conducted. This pilot column was designed
for 99% removal of tetrachloroethylene at the average annual temperature
at Brewster, using a design procedure described in the technical
literature (1 and 2) and augmented by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency's Technical Support- Division (EPA-TSD). Test results were very
encouraging: The removal of tetrachloroethylene exceeded 99% (with 1-inch
ceramic saddles at an air:water ratio of 20:1).
EPA-TSD, which had developed a computer program based on theory
similar to that noted above, undertook a cooperative study with this pilot
plant, and the data were analyzed using their program. More recently,
EPA-TSD tested a larger packed column pilot plant (2-foot diameter with
2-inch plastic saddles) at the Village well fields.
Based on the various studies conducted by the Village's consulting
engineer, a decision was made to design and construct a full-scale
air-stripping column for the Village's water supply. Since three
different sizes of air-stripping columns would now be available (two pilot
and one full-scale column), a proposal for a cooperative research
agreement was made to EPA's Drinking Water Research Division (EPA-DWRD) to
conduct tests in these columns with various packing materials. At the
request of EPA-DWRD, a fourth column diameter (6-inch) was added.
-------
OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT
The principal objective of this cooperative research agreement is
to investigate and confirm scale-up capability of an air-stripping packed
column from a pilot-scale to a full-scale module (design capacity of 0.5
MGD). Secondary objectives are as follows:
1. Develop engineering design guidelines by evaluating mass
transfer coefficients and Henry's coefficients in full-scale and
pilot-scale packed columns,
2. Evaluate the effect of cold weather operation on the full-scale
module (i.e., the effect of sub-freezing air temperatures on
operability and the effect of low water temperatures on Henry 's
coefficient),
3. Evaluate the limiting column diameter:packing size ratios for
pilot columns (i.e., are ratios of less than 12:1 feasible?),
4. Evaluate by means of a computer program the economics of different
packing sizes and operating conditions, i.e., the optimum range
for air:water ratio and air pressure drop to give minimum life
cycle cost), and
5. Document the installed equipment cost of the air-stripping
technique in a full-scale module.
Some additional secondary objectives were initially proposed but
were deleted from, the project because of a budget shortfall. (The
shortfall occurred when construction bids were received and found to be
significantly higher than the engineering estimate.) The deleted
objectives were to:
1. Evaluate the potential effect(s) of air-borne contaminants,
bacteria, and inorganics on the quality of the water as a
drinking water supply,
2. Evaluate alternative methods of preventing and/or removing iron
deposits from the column packing, and
3. Operate the full-scale column in a routine fashion for 10 months
and document the operating and maintenance costs.
-------
SECTION 2
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results reported here, the following conclusions and
recommendations were reached:
1. Generally, the mass transfer coefficients increased as the column
diameter increased (i.e., the mass transfer coefficients increased as the
column diameter to packing size ratio increased). There did not appear to
be any cut-off point—that is, the trend continued beyond the column
diameter to packing size ratios of 12:1. This trend is attributed to a
so-called wall effect that would be more pronounced in a smaller-diameter
column.
2. Because of the trend noted above, it appears that using pilot plant
data to design a full-scale column will result in a conservative design.
3. Based on the cost model described here, the 2-inch TRI-PACKS of the
packings tested gave the most cost effective design for a full-scale system
(i.e., it gave the lowest production cost per million gallons of water).
4. Reasonably good agreement was obtained between the experimentally
derived mass transfer coefficients and those calculated from the Onda model.
Based on these results, it appears that the Onda correlation tends to give a
conservative design for a full-scale system.
5. The 57-inch diameter column was run continuously through periods of
subfreezing weather, and the low air temperatures did not interfere with the
operation of the packed column. The only problem encountered with low
temperatures was with the copper tubing sample lines; some of these lines
split open during the night-time (even though the sample valves were left
partly open). For any future designs, it is recommended that any such
sample lines be insulated to prevent freezing in the line.

SECTION 3
DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
An overall system schematic diagram is shown in Figure I. Water
can be supplied from two old well fields (Well Fields 1 and 2), two old
gravel pack wells (SG 1 and 2), two new gravel pack wells (SG 3 and 4),
and/or a rock well (Deep Well 2). All of these Village wells are
contaminated with the synthetic chlorinated organics to some degree, with
Well Field 1 having the highest contamination levels.
There are three pilot-size columns and one full-scale air-stripping
column. Three of the columns (6-inch, 12-inch, and 57-inch diameters) are
hard-piped installations; the EPA-TSD column (24-inch diameter) was
set-up on a temporary basis for its scheduled tests. Details on column
construction are provided below. A sketch showing the construction
(typical) of an air-stripping packed column is presented in Figure 2.
SIX-INCH DIAMETER PILOT COLUMN
A photo showing the installed 6-inch column (along side of the
57-inch column) is shown in Figure 3. The column is constructed of
aluminum, with five flanged sections. The three middle sections, each
6 feet long, contain the packing (18-foot packing height). The liquid
distributor (mounted at the top of the column) is a perforated basket
type. There are two wall collectors located at 6-foot intervals within
the packing. These collectors are shaped like partial funnels (4-1/4-inch
inside diameter) and are designed to remove excess water from the walls of
the column and redistribute the liquid onto the packing. The packing
support plate has a corrugated shape with openings in the corrugations
that exceed 100% of the column cross-sectional area.
There are seven sample taps spaced at equal intervals within the
packing; each sample tap extends into the packing and is constructed of
copper tubing with the top half removed. Two additional sample taps are
provided for the water into and out of the column.

An air blower forces ambient air into Che bottom of the column
(below the packing support plate). The air flow is measured with a
rotameter, and the water flow is measured with a water meter and stop
watch.
TWELVE-INCH DIAMETER COLUMN
A photo showing the installed 12-inch column is shown in Figure A.
The column is constructed of fiberglass, with five flanged sections. The
three middle sections, each 6 feet long, contain the packing (18-foot
packing height). Design of the liquid distributor, two wall collectors
(9-1/2-inch inside diameter), and packing support plate are similar to the
6-inch column.
There are seven sample taps spaced at equal intervals within the
packing; the sample tap design (half tube) is similar to the 6-inch
column. Again, there are two additional sample taps for the water into and
out of the column.
A blower forces ambient air into the bottom of the column, and the
air flow is measured with an Annubar* sensing element and a combination
included-vertical manometer. The water flow is measured with a water
meter and stop watch.
TWENTY-FOUR INCH DIAMETER COLUMN
A photo showing the temporary installation of the 24-inch column is
presented in Figure 5. The column is constructed of aluminum with seven
sections flanged together, plus a bottom section separated by an air gap.
There are six sections, each 3 feet long, that contain the packing
(18-foot packing height). The liquid distributor at the top of the column
consists of a pipe manifold with four overflow ports located in a square
pattern. There are five wall collectors located at 3-foot intervals within
the packing; these collectors are similar to the funnel-shaped collectors
described previously except that the discharge (inside) edge is fluted and
the liquid runs off of spike-like arms into the packing. Packing support
plates (flat grates with rectangular openings) are located at the bottom
of each of the column sections.
There are nine sample taps spaced at equal intervals within the
packing. These sample taps are half tubes that extend 18 inches into the
packing, with the central 12 inches being open and the 6 inches closest to
the wall being closed. There is also an inlet water sample tap; the
outlet water can be sampled at the open discharge of the column.
Mention of trade names or commercial products does not

The 24-inch column uses a suction blower (from the top of the
column) for air flow, hence there is an open section at the bottom of the
column to allow ambient air to enter (see Figure 6). The airflow is
measured with an orifice plate and an inclined-vertical manometer. The
water flow is measured with an orifice plate and a mercury manometer. A
complete description of the 24-inch column is presented in Appendix A.
FULL-SCALE COLUMN
A photograph of the 57-inch diameter column, as installed, is shown
in Figure 7. This full-scale column has a nominal capacity of 0.5 MGD and
was designed for 99% removal of tetrachlorethylene at an air to water
ratio of 33:1 (with 1-inch plastic saddles at a height of 17 feet 9
inches).
The column is constructed of aluminum with the main section
fabricated in one piece (there is one flange only for the top section).
The liquid distributor consists of two rectangular-shaped parting boxes
that drain into three retangular-shaped weir boxes (mounted at right
angles to the parting boxes). Overflow from the six edges of the three
weir boxes provides liquid distribution across the top of the packing.
(Actual packing depth in this column is 17 feet-9 inches). There are
three wall collectors equally spaced within the packing bed; these
collectors are shaped as an inverted "L" and have an inside diameter of
51-inches. The packing support plate has corrugations similar in design
to the 12-inch column.
There are seven sample .taps, spaced at equal intervals, within the
packing. Each sample is collected in a 1-inch aluminum angle (open "V"
facing up) that runs across the full diameter of the column to within
1/2-inch of the opposite wall. The aluminum angle slopes slightly towards
the sample withdrawal end. Again, there are two additional sample taps
for the water into and out of the column.
There are two air blowers, connected in parallel, for forcing
ambient air into the bottom of the column; one blower is used for normal
operation and the other is on standby (see Figure 8). The air flow is
measured with an Annubar sensing element and an inclined-vertical
manometer. The water flow to the top of the column is measured with an
Annubar sensing element and a direct-reading dial indicator.

COST OF FULL-SCALE AIR STRIPPING FACILITY
The actual construction cost of the full-scale column (57-inch
diameter) is tabulated in Table 2. These costs include the building
(housing the air blowers, pumps, and electrical controls), ancillary
equipment, sitework, and contractor's overhead and profit. This
air-stripping facility has a design capacity of 347 gpm (0.5 MOD) and a
maximum capacity of 600 gpm (0.86 MGD).
AIR DISCHARGE PERMIT
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
required that a "Process, Exhaust or Ventilation System" permit application
be submitted. Based on the anticipated air emissions (99% of the volatile
organic compounds in the incoming water), no difficulty was experienced in
obtaining the permit.

PLAN OF WORK AND TEST PROCEDURE
OUTLINE OF TEST RUNS
The packing materials tested were 1/2-inch ceramic saddles, 1-inch
and 3-inch plastic saddles, and 2-inch plastic TRI-PACKS. The planned
experimental conditions were selected to allow evaluation of: (a) different
column diameters with the same packing material (at the same air and water
velocities), and (b) different column diameter to packing size ratios
(i.e., minimum column diameter:packing size ratio).
An outline of the planned test conditions is presented in Table 3.
Because of budgetary considerations, the experimental plan had to be
limited to fit the available funding level.

14
-------
PRACTICAL FLOW LIMITATIONS
In the case of some of the test runs, the 5:1 and 10:1 air-to-water
ratios could not be run because of water flow limitations (due to either
insufficient pumping capacity from the Village's well fields or excessive
pressure drop in a column or water feed line). These flow limitations are
discussed in Section 5.
FLOW CONDITIONS SELECTED
The air and water flow conditions (velocities) used for the various
packing materials are shown in Table 4. These flow conditions were
selected by EPA-TSD to give a calculated air pressure drop gradient of
1/16-inch water column per foot of column packing. (Note that the
conversion factors for converting the English units to metric units are
given on page vi).

TEST PROCEDURE
The following test (operating) procedure was used for the
experimental runs:
1. Set the air flow rate and the water flow rate for the conditions
desired for each run. (It was usually necessary to adjust the
water flow several times to get the desired rate.)
2. Allow column conditions to stabilize for approximately 20 minutes.
During this time, drain and flush the column sample tube risers at
least two times.
3. Initiate the run by logging the test conditions.
4. Collect water samples in duplicate (seven to nine sample locations
in column plus inlet and outlet) in accordance with EPA standard
procedure.
5. Reread the test conditions to confirm that flows have not changed
significantly.
Record temperature conditions, blower power measurements, water pH
(in and out), and environmental conditions.
For the 24-inch column, the sample tubes are relatively short
(approximately 1 foot long), therefore flushing was done only once.
Also, for this column, blower power measurements (gasoline-engine driven)
were not made.
As much as was possible, the same feed water was used for all the
runs. However, it was not possible to maintain a constant contamination
level in the feed water for two reasons:
1. The contamination levels in the various wells increased with time
over the course of the test period. This was especially true for
Well Field 1 and SG 3 & 4.
2. The range of water flows required with the various sized columns
was very broad (i.e., from 1.0 gpm to 660 gpm). This required
blending water from the various well sources (up to as many as
four sources) to meet the higher flow requirements, and each of
these sources had a different contamination level.
During an initial project peer review that is routinely conducted
for EPA, a question with regard to possible cross-contamination of the
influent air between operating columns was raised. To eliminate this
possibility, one column was operated at a time (with the air to the other
columns shut-off). This eliminated the need for collection and analysis
of air samples to evaluate this possible cross-contamination issue.
16
-------
SAMPLE ANALYSES
All water samples were collected in duplicate with the use of
EPA-approved type sample vials and in accordance with EPA procedures.
Samples collected from the 12, 24, and 57-inch columns were packed in ice
and shipped via overnight freight to Holzraacher, McLendon & Murrell (H2M
Corp.). Samples collected from the 6-inch column were mailed to the
EPA-DWRD, Cincinnati, Ohio (per the EPA Cooperative Agreement). Samples
were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with
EPA Method 601.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
A Quality Assurance Project Plan, required by the Special Conditions
of this Cooperative Agreement, was prepared and approved by the appropriate
EPA officials before data collection was begun.

SECTION 5
OPERATING CONDITIONS AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Forty eight experimental runs were made in the four packed columns
with various packings and at various air:water ratios. Tabulations of
the experimental conditions are presented in Tables 5 through 8 for the
6-inch, 12-inch, 24-inch, and 57-inch diameter columns, respectively.
The run numbers represent the chronological order in which the
experimental runs were made. These tables show the water (well) source,
the packing type, the water and air flows, the air:water ratio, the
column pressure drop ( AP), the water and air temperatures, and the pH of
the water.
For purposes of data evaluation, the runs were assigned an analysis
number as shown in Table 9. All runs with the same column and same
packing material were collectively referred to as a data group. The run
numbers in the last column correspond to the run numbers in Tables 5
through 8. Also shown are the airrwater ratio and the air and water
flows (loading).
WATER SAMPLE RESULTS
As noted previously, water samples were collected (for each run)
at the inlet to the column, at approximately 2 foot intervals within the
packing (sample taps A, B, C, etc.), and at the outlet from the column.
Approximately 430 water samples were collected and analyzed for these
experimental runs.
The results of these water analyses (for tetrachloroethylene,
trichloroethylene, and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene) are presented in
Appendix A, Tables 2, 3, and 4. These same data are plotted as
concentration profiles in Appendices B, C, and D for tetrachloroethylene,
trichloroethylene, and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene, respectively. In the
case of vinyl chloride, the concentration levels in the mixed water from
the various well sources were too low (usually less than 1 microgram per
liter) to provide any meaningful data. However, prior test work with the
12-inch diameter column (using WF-1 only) had shown that vinyl chloride
could be readily stripped.

FLOW LIMITATIONS
Because of flow limitations, some of the planned runs at the lower
airrwater ratios could not be run. Specifically, the following flow
limitations were encountered:
1. With the 57-inch column, the two lower air:water ratios (5:1 and
10:1) could not be run because of the inability of the Village
wells to supply the required water flow (670 gpm or 0.96 MGD).
Additionally, the liquid distributor at the top of the column was
not designed for flows over 600 gpm.
2. With the 24-inch column, the 5:1 air:water ratio could not be run
because of flow limitations with the long water hose installation
used for the temporary installation with the EPA column.
3. With the 12-inch column and the 3-inch saddle packing, the two
lower air:water ratios could not be run because of apparent column
flooding (as indicated by a high pressure drop and surging of
flows). The flooding was believed to occur at the restrictions
caused by the two wall collectors (9.5-inch i.d. or 62.6% of the
column cross-sectional area).
PERCENT REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS
As a guide to monitoring the overall results of the experimental
program, percent removals were calculated for tetrachloroethylene and for
the total volatile organic compounds (VOCs). (The total VOCs are the sum
of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and.1,2 cis-dic^.loroethylene).
The percent removal is defined as:
Inlet Concentration-Outlet Concentration^ JQQ _ % RemOval
Inlet Concentration
The percent removals for each of the column diameters and packing
types (at the various air: water ratios) are shown in Tables 10 through
19. In the last three columns, two numbers are presented; the first
number is the value for tetrachloroethylene and the second number is the
value for the total VOCs. It can be seen that, with 1/2-inch and 1-inch
saddles, percent removals in the order of 99% or more are readily
achieved at air:water ratios of 35:1 or higher.

In order to compare the different column diameters with the same
packing material, the results are retabulated in Tables 20, 21, and 22
for the 1-inch saddles, the 2-inch TRI-PACKS, and the 3-inch saddles,
respectively. For the 1-inch and 3-inch saddles, the percent removals
generally increase with increasing diameter, thus indicating a wall
effect with the smaller diameter columns. This same effect is not
apparent with the 2-inch TRI-PACKS. A further discussion of the wall
effect is presented later in this report.

POWER MEASUREMENTS
Blower power measurements were made for the 6-inch, 12-inch, and
57-inch diameter columns, in accordance with the requirements of the
cooperative agreement. However, these power measurements did not prove to
be useful for the following reasons:
1. Because of the large range of air flows needed for the experimental
runs, the blowers were over designed and the air flow had to be
throttled (with a valve) for the experimental runs.
2. The air duct work, in some cases, contained more elbows and other
fittings than would be used in a non-experimental installation.
The duct work for the 57-inch column, in particular, was somewhat
complex because the dual blowers were housed in the pump building.
29
-------
3. Because of operating convenience, the discharge side of the blower was
throttled for flow control. This increased the power consumption by
approximately 3% (as compared with throttling the suction side).
Because of the above reasons, the experimental power measurements were
excessively high and were not utilized in the data analysis. However, for
documentation purposes, the blower power measurements are tabulated in
Appendix E.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Various environmental parameters (such as humidity and air velocity)
were measured, in accordance with the requirements of the cooperative
agreement. These measurements were not used for data analysis;
nevertheless, they are tabulated in Appendix F for documentation purposes.
30
-------
SECTION 6
DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
GENERAL
Analysis of the experimental results was conducted by the EPA-TSD,
using programs developed by that organization. The data analysis prepared
by the EPA-TSD is presented fully in Appendix A, and the results are
summarized herein. Additionally, the theory of mass transfer in a packed
column has been well developed in the chemical engineering literature (1,2)
and is not repeated herein.
MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS
The mass transfer coefficients resulting from analysis of the
experimental data, as described in Appendix A, are summarized in Tables 23,
24, and 25 for tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and
cis-1,2 dichloroethylene, respectively. Values for air:water ratios of
20:1, 35:1, and 50:1 are shown, since such ratios are typically used .for
air-stripping of these VOCs.
It can be seen, generally, that the mass transfer coefficients
increase as the column diameter increases (with the same packing material).
Putting it another way, the mass transfer coefficients increase as the
column diameter:packing size ratio increases. This is to be expected,
since the wall effect (i.e., channeling of water on the inside of the column
wall) is greater with a smaller diameter column. Of special note, however,
is the observation that the mass transfer coefficient continued to increase
as the column diameter:packing size ratio was increased from 12:1 and also
from 24:1 (for the 1-inch saddles). (Typically, the "rule of thumb" used in
designing packed columns is that the column diameter:packing size ratio
should be at least 12:1.) Thus, based on these results, it appears that
using pilot plant data to design a full-scale column will result in a
conservative design.
FULL-SCALE SYSTEM DESIGNS
In designing a full-scale packed column system for a specific
requirement (say 99% removal of tetrachloroethylene), there are a number of
design parameters, such as packing type, packing size, and air:water ratio,
that will achieve the same result. In order to select the cost-optimized
31
-------
design parameters, the EPA-TSD has developed a cost model that estimates
both the capital and operating costs. The capital costs are based on the
amount of steel, concrete, packing material, pump capacity, and blower
capacity required to achieve a given removal efficiency of a given compound
from a given liquid flow at a given temperature. The yearly operational
cost is based on the amount of maintenance and electric power required to
keep the system in operation. The capital cost is amortized over 20 years
and added to the operational cost to produce a yearly cost. The yearly cost
is divided by the volume of water treated per year and expressed as cents
per 1000 gallons treated. This is referred to as total production cost.
The cost model is described in Appendix A along with its limitations and
qualifications.
Using the data obtained from the four different diameter columns,
cost-optimized designs were developed as detailed in Appendix A. The design
criteria used were as follows:
99% removal of tetrachloroethylene
350 gpm (0.5 MGD) design flow
9 deg C water temperature
5.8 cents per kw hr power cost
10% interest rate
1.2 safety factor for Henry's coefficient
1.2 safety factor for mass transfer coefficient
The results for the 1-inch plastic saddles and air:water ratios of
20:1 to 50:1 are summarized in Table 26.

Thus, once again, a full-scale system designed from pilot plant data will
probably result in a conservative design.
It should be noted that the actual construction costs for the 57-inch
packed column system (Table 2) is significantly higher than the estimated
capital costs resulting from the cost model. This is to be expected, since
there are many items and features (such as building, large clearwell, dual
blowers, dual pumps, chemical feed system, etc.) that are not included in the
cost model. These items and features were site-specific for the Brewster
facility because of the prevailing operating conditions of the Brewster water
supply system, the need to replace the existing wellfield pumping station, and
the design engineers' philosophy regarding sheltering of operating equipment
(air blowers, pumps, electrical equipment, etc.) from inclement weather
conditions. In more favorable climates, a packed column system configuration
similar to that adopted by the EPA-TSD for the cost model would most likely be
utilized.
34
-------
ECONOMIC COMPARISON OF PACKING MATERIALS
Comparison of Che minimum production cost (for Che same column
diameter) was made for Che differenC packing types. The results of the
minimum estimated production costs resulting from the EPA-TSD cost model are
summarized in Table 27. Comparing the different packing materials in the same
diameter column, the 2-inch TRI-PACKS gave the lower production cost, the
1-inch saddles are intermediate, and Che 3-inch saddles gave Che higher
producCion cosC.
1C should be noCed, again, chat these cost comparisons are subject to
the limitations and qualifications presented in Appendix A. For example,
these economic comparisons were made at only one air pressure drop gradient
(1-inch water). Different air pressure drop gradients may be more economical
for the different .packing materials. The results of this economic comparison
should be used only as a general comparison.

ONDA MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS
Mass transfer coefficients were calculated using Onda 's mass
transfer coefficient model 'Z'. These results are presented in Appendix
A, and an example calculation is shown in Table 10 of that Appendix.
The mass Cransfer coefficients predicted by the Onda correlation are
compared, in Tables 28, 29, and 30, with the best fit experimentally
derived results for tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and cis-1,2
dichloroethylene, respectively. Generally, but not always, the two values
are in reasonably good agreement. Based on these results, it appears that
the Onda corrrelation would tend to give a conservative design for a
full-scale system.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON OPERABIHTY
Even Chough the experimental runs were made during both winter and
summer months, the water temperature stayed within a fairly narrow range. The
water temperature into the packed columns ranged from approximately 9 degrees
to 12 degrees C over the course of all the runs (see Tables 5-8). This
relatively constant temperature was due, of course, to the consistency of the
groundwater temperature. Additionally, the ambient air temperature did not
significantly impact the water temperature within the column. For example, in
the runs when the ambient air temperature was near or below freezing, the water
temperature (from the inlet to the outlet of the column) did not drop by more
than 1 degree C.
The 57-inch column was run continuously through periods of sub-freezing
weather, and the low air temperatures did not interfere with the operation of
the packed column. (In fact, since February of 1985, the full-scale column has
been "on-stream", and the product water has been used by the Vi 1-1 age of
Brewster as its public water supply).
The only problem encountered with low temperatures was with the copper
tubing sample lines; some of these lines split open during the night-time, even
though the sample valves were left partly open. For any future designs, it is
recommended that any such sample lines be insulated to prevent freezing in the
line.
HENRY'S COEFFICIENT
Henry's coefficient, a physical-chemical property that expresses the
volatility of a particular VOC, is dependent on the temperature and Che
molecular properties of the VOC. For each of the experimental runs, Henry's
coefficient was determined by EPA-TSD, and the values are listed on the
concentration profiles (lower left-hand corner) in Appendices B, C, and D.
An attempt was made to correlate Henry's coefficient with temperature
but was unsuccessful because of scatter in the data. Instead, a best-fit
Henry's coefficient was determined (see Appendix A), and these values were
0.30, 0.21, and 0.094 atm m-* water/m ^ air for tetrachloroethylene,
trichloroethylene, and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene, respectively. The inability
to arrive at any satisfactory correlation for Henry's coefficient may be due,
in part, to the relatively narrow range of temperatures encountered, as
discussed above.

Introduction:
The contamination of ground water by various low molecular weight
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been reported in many areas of the
country. The frequency of such reports is increasing as more drinking
waters are being analyzed for these types of compounds. As part of its
mission in implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Office of
Drinking Water within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) evaluates
treatment processes for removing organic compounds from drinking waters.
The Office of Drinking Water's strategy for developing drinking water
regulations includes consideration of treatment methods and economics
before regulating a particular compound. The high volatility of the VOCs
indicates that air stripping is a process that should be applicable. The
Technical Support Division, Office of Drinking Water, within EPA is
conducting a series of studies to field verify engineering design
parameters and economics for air stripping VOCs from ground waters. This
report is part of a series that describes that work. Specifically, this
report describes a field evaluation conducted at Brewster, NY.
Summa ry:
An evaluation was conducted to determine the effect of column
diameter on mass transfer coefficients. Four pilot packed column air
stripping systems were evaluated. The diameters ranged from 6 inches to
57 inches. It was found that mass transfer coefficients increase with
column diameter.
Full scale systems were designed using mass transfer coefficients
from each pilot system. It was found that using mass transfer coefficients
from small scale pilot systems to design full scale systems resulted in
over designs. This indicates that there is a safety factor in using mass
transfer coefficients from small scale pilot systems to design full scale
systems.
Background:
The Village of Brewster, located in Putnam County in southeast New
York State, has a population of 1,650. The water supply system consists of
wells with individual pumping capacities from 0.00063 to 0.0063 m3
sec-1 (10 to 100 gallons per minute). The maximum daily production of
the well fields is 0.022 m3 sec-1 (0.5 million gallons per day (MGD)).
40
-------
o/
In 1978, the Village of Brewster discovered that one water supply
well was contaminated with vinyl chloride, cis- and/or trans-l,2-dichloro-
ethylene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and several other
compounds. The concentrations ranged from 5-10, 40-80, 30-50, and
400-600 ug L'1, respectively.
In 1979, the Village, with a grant from New York State, contracted
with N.L. Jacobson and Associates, consulting engineers, to investigate
treatment alternatives. Lagoon spray aeration was tested, found to be
promising, but the treatment objective of 99% tetrachloroethylene removal
could not be obtained.
In 1931, N.L. Jacobson, with technical assistance from EPA, Office of
Drinking Water, Technical Support Division (TSD), designed and constructed
a pilot packed column air stripping system. The pilot system consisted of
a 0.30 m (12 inch) diameter column packed with 5.5 m (18 feet) of 0.025 m
(1 inch) plastic saddles. Tetrachloroethylene removal efficiencies of 99
were obtained in the pilot system.
In 1982, TSD conducted a field evaluation using a 0.61 m (24 inch)
diameter pilot packed column air stripping system. Using data from the
0.30 m (12 inch) pilot system and the TSD pilot system, a 0.022 m3 sec-1
(0.5 MGD) full scale system was designed. The full scale system consisted of
one 1.4 m (57 inch) diameter column packed with 5.4 m (17'-9") of 0.025 m
(1 inch) plastic saddles. The design air flow was 0.72 m^ sec*1 (1,530
standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM)) giving an air to water ratio of 33
to 1.
Later in 1982, the Village, applied for and received a cooperative
agreement with EPA, Office of Research and Development, Drinking Water
Research Division to investigate and confirm scale-up capability of an
air-stripping packed column from pilot scale to full scale.
Packed Column Air Stripping Process:
If water contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is
brought in contact with uncontaminated air, some of the VOC molecules will
transfer to the air. In the packed column air stripping process, this
transfer is facilitated as air and water are continuously replenished and
mixed together in a countercurrent flow pattern (see Figure 1).
(1) Contaminated water is pumped to the top of a column, distributed at
the top, and cascaded down through a bed of packing material.
(2) Uncontaminated air is blown in at the bottom of the column and forced •
up through the same bed of packing material.
(3) Packing material provides a combination of a large surface area to
provide mixing of air and water, contact time for VOC molecules to
transfer from water to air, and a large void volume to minimize
energy loss of the air system.
41
-------
(4) As contaminated water cascades down through the column VOC molecules
are transferred to the air.
(5) Air and VOCs are released to the atmosphere at the top of the
column. The concentration of VOC in air released at the top of the
column is less than the original concentration of VOC in water due to
the large air to water volume ratio. The concentration of VOCs in
air is further reduced by dispersion into the atmosphere.
(6) The countercurrent flow process provides mixing of the most contami-
nated air and water at the top of the column and mixing of the
cleanest air and water at the bottom of the column. The counter-
current flow pattern provides the highest removal efficiencies
possible.
Figure 2 illustrates air to water ratios as a function of liquid and
air loadings. The upper loading limit at which a packed column can be
operated is the combination of liquid and air loadings that force the down
flowing water to become entrapped in the upflowing air. This is generally
called flooding. The flooding line for 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles
at 9 deg C is shown in Figure 2. Packed columns can be operated anywhere
below the flooding line. The theory of mass transfer for a packed column
applies to this full range. However, the available empirical models are
limited to much smaller ranges.
Mass Transfer Theory:
The theory of mass transfer in a packed column has been well
developed in the chemical engineering literature (Ref 1). From mass
transfer theory, the author developed equation 1 which can be used to
predict the liquid phase concentration at any point along the packing
height. There are a total of nine (9) terms in equation 1 required to
predict the liquid phase concentration (X).
Concentration Profile with Unstrippable Component:
X = Xt * ((Xu*(l-C))+ C ) eq. 1
Where :
C-((R*A)-1)/((R*B)-1)
A = EXP((Zt-Z) * (Kla/L) * ((R-D/R) )
B = EXP(( Zt ) * (Kla/L) * ((R-D/R) )
R«(G/L)*(H/Pt)
Xt: VOC concentration at top of packing (ug L~*). The concentration
at the top of the packing material (Xt) should not be confused
with the raw water concentration. There may be some VOC loss
as water travels through the well pump, the piping between the
well and the air stripping system, and the liquid distribution
system at the top of the packed column. This VOC loss is
collectively referred to as the influent end effect.
42
-------
Xu: VOC unstrippable component (fraction of Xt). The unstrippable
component (Xu) is used to account for anomalies that are
observed in real systems. The unstrippable component may be due
to short circuiting of water through the packed column,
background VOC contamination in the influent air, a physical or
chemical complex holding the VOC in the liquid phase, cross
contamination of sample bottles, or other unknown phenomenon.
In general the unstrippable component is a fraction of Xt that,
for some reason or another, can not be removed by the air
stripping process at even the highest air to water ratios or the
tallest packing heights.
G: Air loading (m3 m~2 sec'1). The air loading term (G) is the
total air flow through the column per unit of cross-sectional
area of the column.
L: Liquid loading (m3 m~2 sec~l). The liquid loading term (L) is
the total liquid flow through the column per unit of
cross-sectional area of the column.
H: Henry's coefficient (atm m3 water m-3 air). Henry's coefficient
(H) is a physical-chemical property that expresses the volatility
of the particular VOC. Henry's coefficient is dependent only
on the temperature and molecular properties of the VOC and not
dependent on the other eight (8) terms in equation 1.
Pt: Operating pressure (1 atm). The operating pressure (Pt) is
generally 1 atmosphere.
Zt: Packing height (m). The term Zt is the total height of the
packing material.
Z: Location within column measured from top of column (m). The term
Z is the vertical location within the column measured from the
top of the packing material.
Kla: Mass transfer coefficient (sec*1). The mass transfer
coefficient (Kla) expresses the overall rate of VOC transfer
from the liquid phase to the air phase. The mass transfer
coefficient is dependent on the VOC molecular properties,
packing material properties, liquid loading, and air loading.
The mass transfer coefficient is not dependent on the concen-
tration terms Xt and Xu or the packing height terms Zt and Z.
X: Predicted VOC concentration (ug L'1). The predicted VOC concen-
tration is a function of the other nine parameters above.
Objectives:
The main objective of the cooperative agreement was to investigate
using data from small scale pilot systems to design full scale systems.
43
-------
secondary objective was to evaluate different packing materials. A third
objective was to evaluate the mass transfer coefficients predicted by the
Onda correlation.
Experimental Design:
The main objective was met by using four packed columns. Each of the
four packed columns were identical as possible except for the diameters.
The diameters were 0.15, 0.30, 0.61, and 1.4 m (6, 12, 24 and 57 inches).
All four columns were packed with 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles and
operated at identical liquid and air loadings. In addition to 0.025 m (1
inch) plastic saddles, 0.012 m (0.5 inch) ceramic saddles, 0.051 m (2
inch) Tri-Pack plastic spheres, and 0.076 m (3 inch) plastic saddles were
evaluated.
The cost to remove 99% tetrachloroethylene from a 0.022 m3 sec'1
(0.5 MGD) contaminated ground water source was used as an evaluation
statistic.
Field Evaluation:
The Technical Support Division has designed and constructed a
portable pilot packed column air stripping system. The system, shown in
Figure 3, consists of a 7.3 m (24 ft) tall, 0.6 m (2 ft) diameter
aluminum column packed with 5.5 m (18 ft) of 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic
saddles. Eighteen sample ports were installed at 0.3 m (1 ft) intervals
along the column height to sample the center 0.3 m (1 ft) of the column.
This sampling system permits monitoring the concentration profile of VOCs
along the column height. The pilot system was constructed in 0.91 m (3
ft) tall sections to facilitate transportation to the field sites.
At Brewster, NY a 0.05 m (2 inch) fire hose was used to connect the
water system to the influent line of the pilot system. Mounted on the
influent line of the pilot system was a control valve, orifice plate, and
mercury manometer that was used to control and monitor the liquid flow.
Water was pumped through the liquid flow control system to the top of the
pilot system. At the top of the pilot system were four upturned 0.05 m (2
inch) elbows which distributed the liquid flow onto the top of the packing
material. Water cascaded down through the packing material and was
collected in an effluent tank at the bottom of the column. A 0.1 m (4
inch) fire hose was used to discharge the effluent water to a field.
Influent air was drawn into the pilot system at the bottom of the
column. The air cascaded up through the packing material to the top of
the column and was returned to ground level through an 0.15m(6 inch) airduct.
Mounted inside the air duct was a pitot tube and control damper to
monitor and control air flow. Following the control damper the air
duct was connected to the intake side of a blower. Air was discharged
at ground level 15 m (50 feet) down wind from the air intake. Water
manometers were installed above the top of packing material and at the
pitot tube to measure air pressure. A thermometer was installed above the
top of the packing material to measure air temperature.
44
-------
An influent sample port was installed in front of the liquid control
valve to collect influent samples. Nine of the eighteen sample ports
installed inside the packed coluiin were used. The nine sample ports that
were used were selected at 0.6 m (2 feet) intervals such that the
concentration of the VOCs could be measured as water passed through the
packed column. The sample ports were designed such that air was not
withdrawn with the sample. The pilot system was operated at steady state
for 30 minutes before samples were taken.
The 0.15, 0.30, and 1.4 m (6, 12 and 57 inch) diameter columns were
designed by N.L. Jacobson. All four columns were constructed as identical
as possible except for the column diameter and slight variations in the
sample port location. The location of the sample ports and identification
letters are shown in Table 1.
The liquid and air loadings were selected such that the air pressure
drop gradient through all columns and packing materials was held constant
at 50 N m-2 m-1 (1/16 inch water column per foot of packing height).
The original plan was to operate all four columns and all four packing
materials at 50:1, 35:1, 20:1, 10:1, and 5:1 air to water ratios. However,
the maximum pumping capacity limited the flow. Despite the flow
limitations, each column and each packing material was operated at air to
water volume ratios of 50:1, 35:1, and 20:1. In addition to these three
air to water ratios the 0.15 and 0.30 m (6 and 12 inch) columns were
operated at 10:1 and 5:1. The 0.61 m (24 inch) column was operated at
10:1 and 5:1 using 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles and 10:1 using 0.051 m
(2 inch) Tri-Pack packing.
Table 2 presents the operating data from this field evaluation. Table
2 includes the packing size, pilot column size, air to water ratio, air
loading, and liquid loading. During the field evaluation run numbers wele
assigned in chronological order. The field run numbers are shown in. Table 2
in the column labeled Field Run Number. There were a total of 48 runs
conducted. However, field run number 1 was a shake down run and not
included in Table 2 or the following data analysis. For the purpose of
analyzing the data, the runs were sorted and assigned an analysis number as
shown in Table 2 in the column labeled Analysis Number. All data
resulting from one operating condition were collectively referred to as a
RUN and have a unique analysis number. All data resulting from the same
column using the same packing material were collectively referred to as a
data GROUP. Group numbers are shown in Table 2 in the column labeled Data
Group. All data resulting from one compound were collectively referred
to as a data SET. The tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and cis-
1,2 dichloroethylene data sets are .shown in Table 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
The concentration profile data for tetrachloroethylene, trichloro-
ethylene, and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene are plotted in Appendix B, C, and
D, respectively.
45
-------
Data Analysis:
The data analysis adjusted parameters in equation 1 such that equation
1 best fit the three data sets. The parameters were as follows.
1) The Henry's coefficients that best fit each data set were
determined.
2) The unstrippable fraction that best fit each data group were
determined.
3) The mass transfer coefficients and top of packing concentrations
that best fit each run were determined.
In this report the square root of the mean square error (Sqjnse)
between the measured concentration and predicted concentration was used in
determining the best fit parameters. The minimum Sqjnse was found by
adjusting the parameters using a specially developed non-linear
multiregression procedure. The procedure implemented the above
assumptions. The Sqjnse was computed using the logarithmic form shown in
equation 2.
Square Root of Mean Squared Error:
Sqjnse = SQR( (Ln(Xi )-Ln(X) )2/N ) eq. 2
Where:
Sqjnse = Square root of mean squared error
SQR = Square root function
Ln = Base e logarithm
X = Predicted concentration from equation 1
Xi = Concentration data point from pilot system
N = Number of data points in:
Data Run for Xt and Kla
Data Group for Xu
Data Set for Henry's coefficient
The best fit Henry's coefficient for each data set were 0.30, 0.21,
and 0.094 atm m3 water tn-3 air for tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene,
and cis-1,2 dichloroethylene, respectively.
The unstrippable fraction was found to be insignificant for all but
two data groups. The data group representing the 0.61 m (24 inch) diameter
column with 0.051 in (2 inch) plastic Tri-Packs and the data group
representing the 1.4 m (57 inch) diameter column with 0.025 in (1 inch)
plastic saddles were found to have an unstrippable fraction that averaged
0.016 and 0.033, respectively. The unstrippable fraction was probably due
to short circuiting water through the column and packing material.
46
-------
The best fit mass transfer coefficients for each run in the
tetrachloroethylene data set are shown in Table 6. As expected, Table 6
indicates that the mass transfer coefficients increased as the air to
water ratio decreased. Table 6 also indicates that for any given packing
material the mass transfer coefficients generally increased with increasing
column diameter. This increase in mass transfer coefficient is probably
due to the column wall interfering with the mass transfer process in the
smaller diameter columns. As the ratio of column cross section to
perimeter increased the column wall interference was less significant to
the overall mass transfer process. The same is true for the best fit mass
transfer coefficients for trichloroethylene and cis-l,2-dichloroethylene
as shown in Table 7 and 8, respectively.
The best fit top of packing concentration for each run in each data
set were also computed. Appendix B, C, and D include the four best fit
parameters, square root of the mean squared error, and best fit
concentration profile resulting from this data analysis. Viewing
appendices 2, 3, and 4 illustrates that the best fit concentration
profiles do in fact represent the field data.
The fraction of tetrachloroethylene remaining in the effluent were
computed from equation 1 using the best fit parameters. The computed
fraction remaining values are shown in Table 6. As expected the fraction
remaining increased as the air to water ratio decreased. Although the
fraction remaining data show some scatter, in general the fraction remaining
decreased as the column diameter increased. This indicates that the
removal efficiency increased as the column diameter increased despite the
fact that the same air loading, liquid loading, and packing material were
used. This is true for the 0.025 m (1 inch), 0.050 m (2 inch), and 0.076
m (3 inch) packing materials.
Full Scale System Designs:
The significance of the above observations are best illustrated by
using the results from each run in the tetrachloroethylene data set to
design and estimate the cost of a full scale system. The design criteria
selected in 1982 were as follows.
1) 99% Removal of tetrachloroethylene
2) 0.022 m3 sec-1 (0.5 MGD) design flow
3) 9 deg C temperature
4) 5.8 cents per Kw Hr power cost
5) 10% interest rate
6) 1.2 safety factor for Henry's coefficient
7) 1.2 safety factor for mass transfer coefficient
In order to perform economic evaluations of packed column air
stripping and to generate cost optimized design parameters, a cost model
was developed by TSD. The cost model, as with any cost model, cannot be
universally applied without a critical examination of its components. Many
different configurations of pumps, blowers, construction materials, and
other items have been suggested and are workable. Many assumptions had to
47
-------
be made that may not be the optimum solution from one site to another site
or from one design engineer's opinion to another engineer's opinion. The
packed column air stripping configuration shown in Figure 4 is the result
of many discussions with designers, suppliers, and operators. It should
not be interpreted as the only configuration that will work or even a
recommended system. The best configuration at any particular site will be
dependent on specific site capabilities. The cost model used in this
report was originally developed for a single well producing 50 to 2000
gallons per minute (gpm). The original model is also discussed in
"Economic Evaluation of Trichloroethylene Removal from Contaminated Ground
Water by Packed Column Air Stripping" (Ref 2).
The economic analysis estimates both the capital and operating costs.
The capital costs are based on the amount of steel, concrete, packing
material, pump capacity, and blower capacity required to achieve a given
removal efficiency of a given compound from a given liquid flow at a given
temperature. The yearly operational cost was based on the amount of
maintenance and electric power required to keep the system in operation.
The capital cost was amortized over 20 years and added to the operational
cost to produce a yearly cost. The yearly cost was divided by the volume
of water treated per year and expressed as cents per 1000 gallons
treated. This is referred to as total production cost.
The Henry's coefficients and mass transfer coefficients resulting
from this data analysis for tetrachloroethylene were used in sizing the
following systems. It should be noted that the water temperature during
the field evaluation averaged 11 deg C. For the purpose of sizing these
systems the unstrippable fraction was assumed to be zero. The air
pressure drop as measured in the field was used to estimate the blower
operating cost. The resulting system sizes and cost estimates are shown
in Table 9.
Using data group 2 as an example, 99% removal can be obtained using
any of air to water ratios. As shown in table 9, selecting an air to
water ratio of 50:1 results in a column diameter of 1.8 m (70 inch) and
packing height of 8.2 m (27 ft.). Reducing the air to water ratio to 5:1
results in a column diameter of 0.96 m (38 inch) and packing height of
52 m (170 ft.). Both these systems should remove 99% tetrachloroethylene.
This illustrates that selecting different air to water ratios can
result in very different column diameters and packing heights. The
selection of which air to water ratio to use should be based on the
overall system cost.
The estimated costs for the group 2, 50:1 system, are $140,000 capital
and $7,200 per year operating. Amortizing the capital cost over 20
years, adding the operating cost, and dividing by the yearly volume of
water treated results in a production cost of 13 cents per 1000 gallons.
Likewise the estimated costs for the 5:1 system are $240,000 capital,
$17,000 operating, and 25 cents per 1000 gallons treated. Between the
50:1 and 5:1 systems there exists a minimum production cost.
If a full scale system were designed using data from the 0.15 m (6
inch) diameter pilot column then an air to water ratio of 20:1 would
probably be selected as the minimum production cost. The system sizing
48
-------
would result in a 1.3 m (52 inch) diameter column with 12 m (40 ft) of
packing and a production cost of 12 cents per 1000 gallons treated.
If a full scale system were designed using data from the 0.30 m (12
inch) diameter pilot column then an air to water ratio of 20:1 would also
probably be selected as the minimum production cost. The system sizing
would result in a 1.3 m (52 inch) diameter column with 8.5 m (28 ft) of
packing and a production cost of 10 cents per 1000 gallons treated.
If a full scale system were designed using data from the 0.61 m (24
inch) diameter pilot system then an air to water ratio of 20:1 would also
be selected as the minimum production cost. The system sizing would result
in a 1.3 m (51 inch) diameter column with 7.3 m (24 ft) of packing and a
production cost of 9.6 cents per 1000 gallons treated.
If a full scale system were designed using data from the 1.4 m (57
inch) diameter system then an air to water ratio of 20:1 would still be
selected as the minimum production cost. The system sizing would result in
a 1.3 m (53 inch) diameter column with 2.9 m (9.6 ft) of packing and a
production cost of 7.4 cents per 1000 gallons treated.
In all the above cases the cost optimized air to water ratios were the
same. As the diameter of the pilot system increased, the required packing
height declined along with the estimated cost. Using data from smaller
pilot systems thus produced higher packing heights than necessary. Note
that the 1.4 m (57 inch) diameter column is a full scale system and did in
fact produce higher mass transfer coefficients than the other three
columns. Thus, a full scale system designed from a smaller pilot system
will probably be a conservative design.
Comparison of Packing Materials:
Comparison of the production cost resulting from using different
packing materials is made using the same column diameter. In the 0.15 m
(6 inch) diameter column the 0.012 m (0.5 inch) ceramic saddles indicated
a minimum production cost of 16 cents per 1000 gallons treated whereas the
0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles indicated a minimum production cost of 12
cents per 1000 gallons treated. Thus, 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles
are probably more economical.
Comparing the minimum production cost of the 0.05 m (2 inch)
Tri-Packs to the 0.025 (1 inch) saddles indicated 10 vs 12, 9.7 vs 9.8,
and 7.9 vs 9.6 in the 0.15, 0.30, and 0.61 m (6, 12, and 24 inch) diameter
columns. Thus, the 0.05 m (2 inch) Tri-Packs are probably more
economical than the 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles.
Comparing the minimum production cost of the 0.076 m (3 inch) saddles
to the 0.025 (1 inch) saddles indicated 12 vs 9.8 and 9.6 vs 7.4 in the
0.30 and 1.4 m (12 and 57 inch) diameter columns. Thus, the 0.025 m (1
inch) plastic saddles are probably more economical than the 0.076 m (3
inch) plastic saddles.
49
-------
It should be noted that these economic comparisons were made at only
one air pressure drop gradient, 50 N m~2 m-1. Different air pressure
drop gradients may be more economical for the different packing materials.
The results of this economical comparison should only be used as a
general comparison.
Onda's Mass Transfer Coefficient Model:
The author has found that the mass transfer coefficient correlation
developed by Onda (Ref 3), in general, provides a good agreement with
field data. The Onda correlation requires 20 inputs. Of the 20 inputs
only the liquid and air loadings can be selected by the designer. The
other 18 inputs are fixed for a given temperature, compound, and packing
material. An example calculation of the Onda correlation for
tetrachloroethylene in a bed of 1 inch plastic saddles at 9 deg C is shown
in Table 10. The input parameters are also included in Table 10.
Tables 11, 12, and 13 contain the mass transfer coefficients predicted
by the Onda correlation for tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and
cis-1,2 dichloroethylene. Comparing the best fit mass transfer coefficients
from Tables 6, 7, and 8 for the 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles indicates
that the mass transfer coefficient predicted by the Onda correlation were
close to the mass transfer coefficient obtained in the 0.30 m (12 inch)
diameter column.
Based on this field evaluation, it is expected that a full scale
system will have higher mass transfer coefficients than predicted by the
Onda correlation. Thus, the design engineer can use the Onda correlation
and be confident that a full scale system will be capable of achieving the
desired removal efficiency. The designer should be aware that other
problems can arise such as poor distribution of air and water that can
degrade the actual packed column performance.
Conclusions:
This field evaluation demonstrated that the mass transfer coefficients
from a pilot system increase with the column diameter. Further, using
data from a small scale pilot system to design a full scale system will
produce larger and more expensive equipment than necessary. However, it
is possible that the full scale system can perform better than expected
if uniform flow distribution can be maintained over the cross section
area of the column.
The 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles appeared to be more economical
than the 0.012 m (0.5 inch) ceramic and 0.076 m (3 inch) plastic saddles.
However, the 0.051 m (2 inch) Tri-Pack packing appeared to be more
economical than the 0.025 m (1 inch) plastic saddles. The economical
evaluation was limited in scope and only conducted at one air pressure
drop gradient.
50
-------
The Onda correlation predicted mass transfer coefficients that were
similar to the 0.30 m (12 inch) column. Thus, using the Onda correlation
to design a full scale system will produce a conservative design.
