Preliminary Tower Sizing
Determine packed tower diameter, installed packing depth, total tower height, and the number of operating towers from the design wastewater flow and target removal.
Engineering Excel Workbook
Packed Gas Stripping Tower Design Calculation
Design a countercurrent packed gas stripping tower for ammonia or VOC removal using a structured Excel workbook. Evaluate stripping factor, required air flow, tower diameter, packing depth, packed-bed hydraulic criteria, HTU–NTU sizing, and preliminary design compliance in one place.

What This Module Helps You Design
Gas–Liquid Stripping Evaluation
Estimate stripping factor, air-to-liquid ratio, required airflow, HTU, NTU, and expected removal efficiency using the adopted design basis.
Engineering Review
Review liquid loading, gas velocity, packed-bed pressure drop, EBCT, and preliminary design checks in one traceable workbook.
Calculation Coverage
A linked calculation sequence from influent data and stripping assumptions through packed-tower sizing, hydraulic checks, and preliminary design review.
Design Basis & Air Requirement
- Application selection: ammonia or VOC
- Wastewater flow, influent and target concentration
- Henry’s law constant, total pressure, and air properties
- Minimum and design air-to-liquid ratio
Packed-Tower Hydraulic Sizing
- Packing selection and packing factor
- Gas and liquid loading evaluation
- Cross-sectional area and adopted tower diameter
- Packed-section pressure drop and hydraulic criteria
Mass Transfer & Preliminary Review
- Stripping factor, HTU, and NTU sizing
- Installed packing depth and total tower height
- EBCT and blower requirement review
- Removal-efficiency and preliminary design checks

Built-in Design Checks
Screen the preliminary packed-tower design against the adopted hydraulic, mass-transfer, and equipment criteria.
| Review Item | Workbook Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Air-to-liquid ratio | Check the adopted design air requirement against the stripping basis |
| Gas velocity & flooding margin | Evaluate operating gas loading against the packed-bed hydraulic limit |
| Pressure drop | Review packed-section pressure drop from the generalized packed-column correlation |
| Packing depth | Verify installed packing depth from the HTU–NTU method |
| EBCT & blower capacity | Review contact time and blower requirement for preliminary operation |
These checks support preliminary process evaluation only. Final packing selection, mist elimination, liquid distribution hardware, blower specification, off-gas handling, corrosion resistance, and field performance must be reviewed separately.
