Abstract
Removal of trace organic contaminants from aqueous solutions by air strippers (AS) and fixed bed carbon adsorper (FBCA) has been studied. A trace organic treatment tool has been developed to capture and adapt the best-known design
procedures and to have all regulated trace organics, their physical and chemical properties, and the corresponding maximum concentration limits. Outputs include the selected treatment method and the final design parameters of air
stripper or fixed bed carbon adsorber. Running the model shows that water temperature is a very important factor in designing AS and FBA. It also shows that the best air pressure values, in AS, ranged between 150 -200 ATM. And there is a big relation between the column size and... (More)

It also shows that the best air pressure values, in AS, ranged between 150 -200 ATM. And there is a big relation between the column size and the packing material. On the other hand, it shows that FBA diameter has an obvious effect on the needed volume, and the best values ranged between 1.2 – 2.5 m. (Less)
