Principle of Degasifier
Degasification or desorption is the functional opposite of absorption (scrubbing). However, the
same type of equipment is used. Contaminated solution (water) is introduced at the top of a vertical
packed column and normally fresh air is introduced at the bottom of the column. As the air is
moving up and water moves down (counter-current) there is disassociation of contaminates
(VOC’s) that release from the water to the air. The liquid leaving the column is cleansed of most
contaminants and the airborne contaminate vapor is released to the atmosphere or a further post
treatment process.
The Indusco Environmental Services Vertical Packed Bed Degasifier Column is an economical and
effective means of Liquid/Air Stripping that can be used for a wide variety of applications. Each system
is individually designed and engineered to meet the site specific requirements. A typical degasifier
includes the vessel with internals and a fan. Indusco can integrate a complete package to include all
duct, piping, instruments, fan filter enclosure, cleaning pump, access ladder with platforms, instruments
and controls. Units typically range from 12” diameter to 14’ diameter. Liquid flow capacities in a single
vessel design range from 5 GPM to 7500 GPM.
TYPICAL TREATMENT APPLICATIONS COMMON COMPOUNDS REMOVED
• Desalinization • Groundwater • PCE • TCE • H2S
• Brackish Water • Landfill Leachate • DCA • BTEX • CO2
• Reverse Osmosis • Industrial Process Water • C2H3Cl • MTBE • NH3
Vessel:
Indusco Environmental Degasifier Vessels are designed and fabricated
of all type materials; most common are fiberglass, aluminum and
stainless steel. All fiberglass vessels are supplied per PS15-69, ASTM
3299 and RPT-1 industry standards. Most units are one piece
construction with no body flanges for ease of installation. Fiberglass units
have light blocking UV inhibitors that are applied to prevent UV
penetration that can aid in potential biological fouling. Each vessel is
designed with site specific seismic and wind consideration.
Packing Media:
Indusco Environmental provides Packing Media to match the specific
application of the service intended. Most media is random dump type
polypropylene that has high mass transfer efficiency, excellent chemical
resistance, and low potential for biological or chemical scale fouling.
Packing Support Plates:
Indusco Environmental utilizes Packing Supports of Grating and Gas
Injection Plates for even air distribution and maximum water flow
drainage. The design provides optimal gas to liquid transfer with the
lowest drop in pressure, increasing time between packing replacement
or cleaning up to 35%. Materials include stainless steel and fiberglass.
Liquid Distribution:
Indusco Environmental provides a high quality engineered complete
designed liquid distribution system that assures proper liquid flow and
the best available wetting of the packing media. The quantity, size and
configuration along with materials of construction are important for
proper design and durability. Materials included; PVC, FRP, CPVC,
stainless steel and aluminum.
Demisters / Liquid Entrainment Separators:
Indusco Environmental demisters are supplied as required per the
application and requirement of the service intended. Units are supplied
as mesh pad assemblies or ridged chevron blade type. Both types are
very effective in removal of entrained water droplets.
Tower Cleaning / Wash Down:
Indusco Environmental offers options for effective ways of cleaning the
degasifier vessel, header, packing and demister. These normally
include use of piped wash down header connections and spray nozzles.
These are designed to use recycled cleaning solutions (usually, HCL or
sodium hypochlorite) to flush down the vessel and allow cleaning of all
internals.
